    New Years Day brunch. Bloody Mary’s were tasty and the French Onion soup was fantastic. Had the short rib French dip. French fries were hot, crispy and fresh. The sandwich was tasty but would have liked a little more meat to go with the bread. The Au Jus was tasty and complimented the sandwich well. Will look forward to going back to try other menu items.

    My husband and I had a 12/28, 6pm reservation. The restaurant seated us at 6 pm. The wine by the glass list is fantastic! I loved the Mahi, it was saved on a delicious savory sauce and grilled corn. The Mahi was done perfectly. My husband strip steak which he loved. Spinach side was very, very good. Our burratta eggplant appetizer was out of this world! Highly reccomended. The beet salad was very good. Generous portions! Service was perfect. The restaurant was about half full, the bar was "happening". No noise complaints from us.

    Party of 6 for Christmas Eve. Dinner was fantastic. It was busy but the service was great. Great ambience and lighting. Curated cocktails. Noise was well controlled. Food was the star of the show. We were there at night so I can't wait to go back for lunch to see the views of the ocean from the dining room.
