In town for vacation & stumbled across this gem. We were stunned by how delicious everything was, but we're very saddened to learn this was their last night as the owners are retiring. Congratulations! I wish we'd found you sooner!

The atmosphere here reminds me of restaurants I visited near the gulf. You can smell the seafood cooking in the back, and the vibe seemed to fit a date night. You can see the team hard at work in the back, and you know care is being taken to make a good meal.Bread and oil: Fluffy, warm bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Light herbs floated in the mixture. The bread was good on its own, and it paired nicely with the liquid add-ons.The halibut: The thicker area of the halibut was perfectly cooked, with the tail end being a little over. The aioli, while tasty, was laid on a little thick. It was roughly 50/50 aioli:halibut on the tail end, and 30/60 on the thickest portion. Seasoning was on point. The dish neither required additional salt and pepper, nor suffered from an abundance of it; the chef's experience was exemplified by that. The biggest flaw with this dish for me was I did bite down on a pin bone. It made the experience less enjoyable for me, but I don't believe this is the standard here.Potatoes: a little soggy on the outside with little crispy bits popping in to say hello before continuing on their way. The inside was just done, providing some resistance in the middle without any unpleasant crunch of raw potato.Veggies: Squash made up the bulk, and I can't fault this part. There was a bite, but it was cooked through and seasoned appropriately.Veggie Penne: cheesy, plentiful, and ratios were right on.Service was fast, present when needed, and pleasant when present. Chef came to check on the dishes (just before I found the pin bone) which is always welcome.Overall: The dishes were good, the service was pleasant, and the atmosphere was reminiscent of a gulf seafood restaurant. While there were a couple missteps, this restaurant is worth trying regardless of whether you're craving land, air, or sea.

Don't be confused by the name. Their food is 10 star! We had the coconut shrimp for an appetizer soooo yummy. They bread FRESH shrimp and make their own sauce. Then for dinner I had their halibut and it was the best I have ever had. I lived in Alaska, so I've eaten a lot of halibut. My husband had a shrimp Thai scampi, and he couldn't quit raving about it. He said it was seasoned perfectly. Then the owners are so sweet! They visited with us and we just had a wonderful time visiting with them. We will be back!

The food was absolutely amazing. Everything tasted so good. I ordered the chicken parm and it was perfection. My husband loved the halibut, said it was amazing as well. I really liked the atmosphere because we didn't feel rushed and everyone was extremely friendly. We had two little kids and the servers were so understanding and helpful.We were so pleased with our whole experience and would 100% recommend the food. A huge plus was that we walked right in and were able to sit down, instead of the 45min wait for a place close by. We almost wanted to keep this gem to ourselves.
Kid-friendliness: They brought out kid cups of water with lids and straws. There were kid options that were still delicious. Our kiddos had a cheeseburger and fries and we tasted it as well and the fries were so crisp and tasty and the burger was great too.

The food was excellent. I wasn't quite expecting it to be such a fine dining type place so I felt a little out of place with my toddler but they were so nice to us and this was some of the best food we have ever had. We live in Spokane but if we are ever nearby this will have to be a mandatory stop.
