    Wonderful experience! Will be going back. Busy restaurant and a bit loud but the service was fantastic and the food was insane. We started with the oyster sampler and then I got the Wild Alaskan Black Cod with broth and noodles and it was so delicious. Brought our own wine because no corkage!

    We’re regulars at this location and they rarely disappoint. Our server last night, Matt was exceptional. The food was on point and at the start of a busy pre-Thanksgiving weekend we had a wonderful experience.  We always appreciate the seasonal offerings, the fresh ingredients, and the beautiful presentation.
