    We had a mid-week birthday celebration and "that was a great meal" was the universal opinion. Stephanie, our server, was attentive and knowledgeable. Food selections included ahi tuna, Bronzino, flounder, crab cakes, shrimp and scallops - all delicious preparations!

    We were disappointed in our visit to the restaurant after having good experiences in the past. We started with a shrimp cocktail which was excellent. The shrimp were large, cold and crisp. My wife ordered a mediterranean salad with scallops. The salad was very good. The scallops were miniatures, much smaller than expected. The Yukon potatoes were also delicious. Unfortunately, the branzino I ordered was overcooked, dry and had a briny taste - just not very good. We will re-think whether we want to return. Our server was very good.

    The service and food were outstanding. The music was extremely loud which made it difficult to hear and have a conversation.
