    Been here before a couple of times. This time they had a buy-out wedding reception upstairs in the outdoor deck. The music was really LOUD! We sat downstairs, paid for a special waterfront table. The table was in a public sidewalk area, traffic of pedestrians, dog walkers passing by all throughout dinner.

    My wife and I dined here on a Sunday evening, and overall, the service was great. However, we did encounter a few issues with the food. We ordered the charred octopus and squid ink pasta with shrimp, but unfortunately, the food took longer than expected, and we ended up asking the waiter twice because we were confused about the food taking so long. When it finally arrived, the octopus wasn’t charred, and the pasta was cold. That said, we had a pleasant conversation with the waiter, who was very accommodating and promptly replaced our dishes. Despite this, the rest of the experience was quite enjoyable – the ambiance was lovely, and the music set a nice, moderate tone. We left feeling positive and would certainly consider returning.

    We paid the extra $15 per person to sit as close to the water as possible, which was nice. Service was very slow, but our waiter was very friendly. The food was just ok all around. Also, planes were flying over head every couple of minutes as the restaurant is on the landing path to the airport. We would not go back.
