    Overall we had a great dinner experience with a good server. We really enjoyed most of the food we ordered. The mussels and goat cheese appetizers were very delicious. The swordfish fish and chips entree was loved by everyone at the table. Others at the table ordered the duck leg and Wagyu linguine and the short rib pot pie and they really enjoyed their entrees. The only dish that was less that expected was the wagyu flat iron steak as the teriyaki sauce was too salty and the portion size in comparison to the other dishes was too small for the price point. Overall we did enjoy our dinner experience and would dine here again.

    We had a party of four on a Thursday night and the restaurant was mostly empty except for a large birthday party in a semi private area. Our server Carla was very attentive with checking up on us occasionally to see if we needed anything. She was also attentive in refilling the water glasses. The taste and temperature of the food was excellent. We were quite full after our main meal and kindly declined dessert. Overall it was a great experience and dinner.
