    We thought this place deserved 5 stars. We were a little late to our 5:30 reservation… about 20 minutes. When we got there the hostess took our name and we were seated within 5 minutes. We started with the Sangria and the Basil Basilica and both were fantastic. For appetizers we had the ricotta spread (which was very good but a little too much ricotta cream), the octopus (very good) and the wagyu carpaccio (which was my favorite!). My boyfriend had the chicken for the entree and I had the Mafaldine. Both were absolutely amazing and will be going back!

    We came here on one of the busiest days of the year, checked in early, and went to the dock bar out back to wait for a table. The bar was busy but had enough seats for our large party. Service was friendly and quick. We enjoyed a round of drinks before our table was ready and we moved inside. We were sat at exactly our reservation time. Server was great, and attentive. Food and drinks were outstanding and the vibe of the restaurant was perfect. Definitely want to return in the future and will always recommend to friends.

    We had a great Christmas meal. Three of us enjoyed an appetizer, the 1905 tableside salad, and entrees. Two had fish - both were delicious. The only disappointment was the special Christmas dinner pork meal, which was dry and barely lukewarm as if it had been sitting waiting for the others. The service was stellar - friendly, informative, knowledgeable, timely, but allowed us to enjoy the experience over a period of time without feeling rushed even though the place was jam packed.

    We sat outside and staff turned on a heater near us. The meals were excellent and the service was wonderful. First time and will definitely be returning!
