    How do you spell amazing, “Red Salt”! Our Valentines dinner for two started with Noah our sever opening the delicious bottle of Merry Edwards Sauvignon blanc and pouring a taste in each glass. We savored the wine while waiting for the first course oysters to arrive. The two different preparations launched us into the evenings flavor experience! Noah kept the wine trickling in while waiting for the baked lobster dynamite sushi to land. It was a flavor explosion in the mouth and I could have stopped there. Again Noah kept the wine flowing and was attentive but allowed us to have a very relaxing evening. Next arrival was the perfectly seasoned and broiled fillet with Boursin mashed potatoes. We are getting full but have just enough room to share the chocolate volcano cake topped with vanilla ice cream. Now we’re all in! It was an amazing dining experience, everything was done to perfection and Noah’s timing of the courses allowed us to have a most relaxing evening. It was simply exquisite!

    Our experience was outstanding! We loved every minute of the experience, from the beautiful setting, the decor, the very responsive service, our beverages and, especially, the food. We started with the garlic covered baked rolls. Our friends had a caesar salad while we very much enjoyed our perfectly cooked and seasoned scallops (3) of large size that my partner and I shared. Both couples had one serving apiece of the macadamia nut coated mahi-mahi, which, again, was perfectly cooked and delicious. Their special "cole slaw" was delicious. The staff cut the portions in half in the kitchen without our specific instructions, knowing that 4 people were sharing two orders. The beautiful presentation of the fish was thus preserved. Our friend was celebrating her birthday and was rewarded with a creme brûlée for dessert, as were we. We paid for ours. They also split the bill in three, instead of 2 or 4, so the three of us could each contribute to our friend's birthday celebration. We loved the whole experience.

    This is the best place to view the sunset so get there early for a drink and a spot on the lawn. It attracts a crowd so be prepared for the hunt for a parking spot! We came to this restaurant 40 years ago and now I remember why I remember! The drinks, service, and food were outstanding. The menu is somewhat limited but I suppose that’s why everything is expertly prepared and delivered piping hot to the table! Our server was so helpful and friendly in describing the dishes. To top it off we shared a coconut crème brûlée. A must. There is a respectable wine list both by the glass and bottle. If we lived here, it would be a favorite spot!
