    We enjoyed a fabulous dinner preceded by wonderful cocktails. The view was beautiful as was the sunset! In regard to Covid there was good spacing between tables and very good ventilation. We will return!

    We celebrated our anniversary there. The seating was perfect for watching the sunset. Our meals were delicious. The cream of crab soup was outrageous. The crab cakes and veal dish were superb. Our waiter, Chris was very attentive.

    Amazing special of the day - a filet tail with peaches and blue cheese that was truly perfect. Great appetizers - crab with guacamole and duck cigars, also the scallop and mushroom appetizer was delicious. Very disappointing mussels app - severely under seasoned with no complexity of flavor. Service was slow and distracted, no follow up with head of house. Skip dessert - we had the house special and it wasn’t. Overall view and ambiance were fantastic, most of what we ordered were delicious hits, but a few glaring misses. We’d certainly be back if in the area again.
