    Excellent food. The service was great. Ambience with Mountain View’s in a clear evening was beautiful. The fish was perfectly prepared and the Cesar needed minimal dressing as it was seasoned perfectly.

    We had an absolute amazing dinner. The food was delicious, abundant, fresh and hot. Even though the restaurant was busy the service was impeccable. We never felt rushed or ignored. Definitely will go back.

    Server was good however very busy so timing to table was off. Wine was not on table and poured before entrees placed. Pasta came out cold and she was able to rectify quickly.
