We were immediately greeted by the host and sat early for our reservation. Our server was phenomenal and helped us pick a few options to split. We had the baked lobster and snow crab for our mains and the food was delicious. Dessert was also great we had the butterscotch bread pudding. Ambience was perfect with low music, easy on the eyes lighting and literally on the water. 10/10 recommend

Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating! Flavors were excellent but my coconut curry lobster was both cold and overcooked. Service is definitely slower but vibes immaculate. (If you're over 30 that means great ambiance and energy)
