We were disappointed when the expensive red wine was served chilled with the excuse that it was just taken out of the refrigerator. I sent it back and the server opened a fresh bottle at room temperature as it should be. There was also an issue with the pate served with the bread but this was taken care of immediately. The food was delicious.

Always fantastic! Brought my daughter and husband here for Sunday evening and had wonderful food as usual: Gnocchi, Branzino and the Chilean Sea Bass.
Angie is such a joy to have help us through the evening . . . We always enjoy her service!

It was a Wednesday night, so it wasn't very busy. Otherwise, it's packed on the weekend! The bouillabaisse (seafood dish) with lobster I thought was an amazing deal considering costs of what I've seen at other restaurants and sizes. This was sizable for a pure seafood dish.
