“Very nice restaurant, tasty food and great views! I love the look of the inside of the restaurant, especially the big fireplace in the middle. The food was delicious! I oredered the seafood pasta, highly recommend even though it's a bit expensive. The only compliant I have is the service. It took a WHILE to not only order but to recieve our food. We had our 11 month old with us and babies that age don't typically sit well for extended periods of time. That and our waters weren't refilled once. Hoping for quicker service next time but we will be back some day!“
