    Our server was energetic and fun, short and quick banter but did not bother us more than he needed to. Perfect service.

    Glad we went early 5:45. Got great service. The waiters recommendations were spot on. Oysters and mussels were yummy as was the vista salad and the chicken sliders. Will go again. I’m a local but the visitors loved it.

    Excellent service and the food was tasty. The only drawback was the table where we were seated. We felt as if we were in a hallway. We now know what to ask for the next time.

    It was just amazing! 1. Our server, Scott, was just awesome- super friendly, kind, quick and helpful. He provided such a great customer service! 2. Food: we tried the CAPRESE BASIL CHICKEN MEDALLIONS, HERB ROASTED CHICKEN + BUTTER POACHED WILD PRAWNS, BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI and single one was outstanding! The food was fresh, light, and tasted like homemade! 3. Drinks: we had few of MACCHIATO MARTINI and it was so tasty and unique! 5 stars, thank you! Surely, we will be back!
