“ We were first-time visitors last Friday and our dining experience was amazing start to finish. We were greeted and seated promptly and our table overlooked the water. We enjoyed cocktails, the tuna appetizer, and filet mignon for dinner. Our friendly server, Christy, was on point with every detail and the meal was delicious and perfectly portioned. We knew we’d be returning at first bite, because we want to taste more of their menu. We also look forward to dinner on the patio one evening when the temps aren’t sweltering. This is one of our top dining experiences since moving to the area. Highly recommend. ”
“ Went here for the Misses' birthday dinner. ordered crab stuffed shrimp and the lamb. It was amazing! The spinach artichoke dip w/ crab lumps was also amazing however it said served 4-6 people and I don't see how it serves 6 people. I guess if you went with true portion size maybe. ”
“ This is a hidden gem! Now that all the construction is totally complete, this is an amazing spot in an incredible location. My time, my good, my experience was so so so good! The only thing I would’ve changed about the night ....was my date lol. My server was absolutely amazing and very well versed in “Girl Code” lol. She looked after me and checked in to make sure I was ok throughout my date. Her suggestions were delicious and the night was beautiful. Come on the spring and summer to enjoy sitting outside ”
“ Food was great and service was pleasant. We were worried about the prices and hoped the food tasted good but we were not disappointed. We the chicken was a bit overcooked but the duck and lamb were cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back. ”
“ Pleasantly surprised. Every dish was very well executed and was delicious. The gnocchi carbonara was actually better than next day. Seems like the flavor came together a little bit more. If you go, the food will be delicious, but make sure you bring your pocketbook. It’s not cheap. :-) ”
“ Had our company holiday dinner on a Tuesday evening. “Someone back there knows what they’re doing,” was the best comment I heard someone at the table say, and I think it perfectly sums up how great the food was. Oysters were great, calamari fried perfectly, spinach and artichoke dip was cheesy and had plenty of spinach and artichokes. I cannot say enough about how wonderfully flavored my lobster tortellini was with PLENTY of tortellinis and more lobster than you could possibly imagine. Every entree on the table was PLENTIFULLY portioned. Genuinely felt the prices per plate were more than justified based on how delicious everything was and the portions they served. Lemon Berry mascarpone dessert was amazing, wish I had listened to our server when she said it was her favorite. Had to steal bites from my colleagues. Key lime pie was good and everyone who had any leftovers whatsoever, took them home. Shout out to our server who was stellar, thanks for the great service. ”
“ I am here to tell you that mushroom ravioli is out of this world! We loved everything about this restaurant. It's beautiful outside as well as in. You can see the water from the windows. Everyone is so nice. If you are a big fan of good drinking waters, I give this one a 10. Seriously good. I drink my water with a fresh palate, before eating or drinking anything else. Perfection. The sweet tea is ridiculously delicious. I enjoyed the bread. As a vegetarian I was overjoyed they had an incredible dish. My phone was not letting me use the flash. It was way prettier than my photo. And, unlike many upscale restaurants, the portions were very generous. They also have a huge selection of meat dishes. My family ordered kalamari, which they said was the best they ever had. One of us had the lamb, and ate every bite. Beautiful plating. Another had a good sized steak, and got full before finishing. She said it was incredible. I love this place and hope to go again on my next vacation! They even fixed a kid friendly meal especially for the 10 year old in our group!! Thank you for the best food ever! ”
“ Really good seafood spot. Kind of in the back of the cut next to the water. Great servers and quick from the kitchen. Went on a Saturday night around 8pm and it wasn’t busy at all. Plates are small and place is expensive but it was worth it. Even took some extra home. Drinks were good but in small cups. Spent over 100.00 for two people. ”
