Like that the menu changes every season and they are being creative with their dishes. Everything we ate was delicious and our server Heaven was fun and friendly.

Two girlfriends went in on a Thursday for happy hour. First time for both of us. Nice vibe inside with cool decor. We were there during the day, but I imagine the lighting at night is dramatic. Blue cobalt glasses on all the tables, of course. We sat at the bar and enjoyed glasses of wine...half off during happy hour. Great value as they have a decent wine list. We enjoyed the sliders and the crab cakes off the happy hour menu. Both delicious. Our bartender was attentive and friendly. A new dinner menu launched the day we were there. Lots of nice options worthy of a return to try.

A great new find for us. A popular chain had just hung us out on a Saturday night. They indicated that even with our OpenTable reservation, it would be an additional 45 minutes. Cobalt got us in. Unique cool interior. Nice staff. Rye old fashion was great. The custom drink my wife had was really good. Food was very good. Two things to consider. It was loud. I think it is the building and not the people that were there. It did take a long time. We weren't in any rush, so it wasn't an issue. So glad we discovered this one and it just took the place of the chain restaurant that stiffed us on our rotation.

We took our great niece (16) to experience Cobalt Smoke & Sea because it is our favorite place. Everyone welcomed her with open arms especially Sheri. She tried the ocean trout and loved it. Even had a booze free cocktail! What a beautiful night!

The service was exceptional. The menu is limited but the food was high quality and very fresh. They change the menu seasonally. There is a large drink menu. It was very loud however, you may want to go a little earlier if you want a quieter dinner.

Had been a couple years since we last dined here. Remembered it as being a bit fancier and bolder flavors than it was this time. Decor and ambience are still great!

I'm sure it would have been wonderful, were it not for a table that was so loud that those at my table couldn't hear each other. It ruined the experience. I could barely hear the servers. The inconsiderate table laughed and bellowed for long after paying, so we had to endure it the entire time. We couldn't wait to leave. The food was delicious, the servers were exceptional, but we won't chance it and return of it attracts incredibly loud and obnoxious people. They were shrieking and laughing so incredibly loud. in a nice restaurant, as though they were in a private party room. The most disturbing patron of the lot was dressed like he was going to a ball game, wearing a trucker's cap. Classy.

We loved both the halibut and pork tenderloin! The wait staff and kitchen were helpful in navigating one person at our table with some dietary restrictions. Thank you to Leslie for answering our questions about the menu and for providing excellent service. We look forward to seeing what will be listed on future menus as the seasons change.

Food was good but took way too long. Took 3 hours to finish our meal. Horrible service avoid.

This place should check all the boxes with their extensive bar and seasonal menu but the execution is lacking. The servers they had were overwhelmed; it was over 30 mins before they took our orders. The drinks were pretty much all good though. Our appetizers were delicious and half of the mains were great but the burger was a literal burnt hockey puck. So overcooked and chewy. The pita bread served with the hummus was very stale. For the price; you don’t expect burnt meat and tough bread.

Great food. We've been there twice and both times the service was ok. Not great, not bad. Great atmosphere but the acoustics are horrible and can get very loud for the small size of the restaurant. Spring or fall outdoor dining would be perfect.

Everything was really good. They have great cocktails- the halibut and pasta wee both very good. The only part that could be better was dessert options are limited.

Amazing Service. Great Cocktail menu, and amazing bourbon list. The Tuna appetizer was great, and a unique preparation. We were with friends that we hadn't seen in a long time, and so wanted a slower pace, and time to chat and catch up. We never felt rushed, but we also always had whatever we needed. The food was very good quality and we felt like everything was fair priced. I do wish there was a little more variety or a few more entre options, but everything that we got was a well thought out preparation, with great flavors. We really enjoyed the evening, and when in the area, we would definitely go back.

Excellent seafood dish (scallop-shrimp-risotto. Chef was accommodating to modify the yellowfin crudo for allergies. Great cocktail list - wine list was not extensive but the spirits list was fantastic.
