Reviews
Took family here to celebrate a birthday. This place is top 3 on Yelp. Definitely lives up to its ratings. It has a great wine and cocktail selection, and the food is great.

Amazing experience. Colby, the bartender, was so great. We sat at the bar, waiting for our table. Colby made us delicious cocktails and was so pleasant and engaging. Then came dinner. Liam was the most attentive server. He was highly knowledgeable about the menu and his recommendations were fantastic. Hubby and I shared the Caesar salad which is out of this world. So, so good. Hubby had the scallops. I had the halibut. We could not stop talking about how good our dishes were. The chef perfectly seasoned the dishes. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Great service, great view and fantastic food.
