                                                            Food was outstanding, not one bad thing to say. We had lobster linguine, octopus, ceviche and a few other appetizers and all were a 10 out of 10. Everything tasted so fresh. Even the drinks! I’m not a big drinker and everywhere I go the drinks are so strong but the drinks were so refreshing. Our waitress was also great and friendly and she helped with recommendations on what to try. Will return :)

                                                            Beautiful restaurant with views of the lake. Oysters tasted fresh and really enjoyed their in-house mignonette sauce. The beef tartare was amazing. The lobster linguine and grilled octopus were also just as delicious!
