    We had a reservation for 4 people and were shown quickly to our table. Beautifully decorated, clean restaurant with a view of the water. The service was outstanding. The server reviewed the specials and answered all our questions. He and other staff came around to the table several times to ensure that we had everything we needed. The menu had many options to choose from and the food was delicious. Will definitely go back again.

    We sat at the bar and the bartender couldn’t have been more attentive. The service was top notch. The food was very good. The octopus could have been tenderized a little more. Burrata was supposed to have heirloom tomatoes, but came with just regular Roma tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. I get it, heirlooms are out of season, but don’t keep it on the menu. Gnocchi was very flavorful but a little gritty. No espresso for the end of the meal so our bartender made espresso martinis. They were excellent. Overall, great date night. We will return.
