    A little pricey, but great option if you’re celebrating something. Service was friendly and food was good. The baked scallop appetizer was fantastic and would definitely recommend.

    Our Valentine's dinner was perfect from start to finish. Initial service was prompt as we were seated and our wine arrived in short order. The strawberry bruschetta appetizer was a nice touch. We followed with a Caesar salad ,nice and fresh with an anchovy garnish. We opted for medium rare Steak entrees garnished with Brussel sprouts and fingerling potatoes. Perfect. The environment is casual dining and a lively ambience. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome and appreciated.

    Service was excellent. A sore spot for me is cold butter and warm bread. One ruins the other. it is little things for the price. The sea bass was very good . My dining partner opted for no glaze and it was better without the glaze. Could use more Pinot selection but all in all, good experience .

    We had a reservation for Valentines. When we ordered our food, we were told they only offered a Valentines Day menu. We could not order off the regular menu. The special menu was way over priced and the website gave no indication that it was the only thing being offered. Very disappointed...we will NOT go back. Lost a long-time customer.

    We truly enjoy the Sunset Dinner special. But overall, the ambience on the patio is our favorite.

    Poor waiter who failed to serve one of the four half plates that we ordered. He then saw fit to question whether we had ordered the missing half plate.

    Great good - great service. We were immediately seating for our reservation time. We immediately received water and bread. Server asked for drinks or appetizers and they came promptly. We both had half portions of entrees and salads - Totally amazing service and the food was excellent! Easy to talk and enjoy.

    Great food and ambience, although they cleared our plates literally the second we were done and we sometimes felt a little rushed.
