    My 1st intro was the hostess. I was running a bit late. I called to make sure it wouldn't be a problem. Hostess was most gracious. Upon arrival hostess offered me a table & asked if it was ok. I requested another table. The cleaned the table immediately & Sat me. Our waiter's name was Gee, however there was another server that assisted, Leonel pronounced Lay-o-nel. Both young men were very accommodating, friendly, & knowledgeable about the menu. They were absolutely WONDERFUL!! I was extremely impressed with the food & drink. I'll definitely be going back!!!

    The cod and market fish special were excellent. We started with the two different salads. We ended with the donuts, which were a bit much and not super special. We would have preferred a different dessert. We were celebrating an anniversary, and they did make it special with a bit of sparkling wine and a sparkler on the table, as well as a card. We saw a number of special celebrations for birthdays and such nearby. It is a nice place for a special night.
