    A magical outdoor patio with fairy lights and live music. The halibut special was delicious. Service was not rushed but attentive and friendly. We can’t wait to go back.

    This was our 3rd visit. The food and service were outstanding. I had short ribs and my wife had sea bass, both were excellent. As always service was 2nd to none! The ambience is one of my favorites.

    The prices are surprisingly high, yes the food is good great ambiance but the high prices dilute the overall experience…

    A local favorite for special occasions. But I have to say the patio has gotten very tight. My chair was bumped by a server multiple times during dinner. They may be trying to squeeze a bit too much into that lovely space.

    Beautiful open air patio dining/courtyard. First timers and enjoyed it - very very busy in the courtyard and a bit difficult to make your way around the area but still a pleasant experience. Food was visually pleasing and service was top-notch.
