    We really like your restaurant. However you advertise being a seafood restaurant and the number of actual fish options are very limited. The fish we had was excellent but we would love a bigger variety.

    We decided to try this place out for our anniversary and we were pleasantly surprised! Throughout the night there were probably five different staff members that wished us a happy anniversary. We opted to get a bottle of wine and it was on of the highlights of the evening! The crab artichoke dip was really tasty and the braised lamb shank was SO tender it fell right off the bone. At the end of our meal they gave us complimentary prosecco to celebrate and it was the perfect treat to end the evening with.
