    The place is definitely worth a visit. We had Devina as our waitress and she was training Jayden and they were both lovely and amazing servers. They were attentive and Devina had great recommendations. The food was delicious, the place is beautiful and no sign of any ghosts while we were there! A definite hit amongst our group.

    Had a great experience here! Food was all really good - in particular liked the apps! The tuna tartare was the best! We had the cape d’or salmon and the halibut, and both were delicious, nicely cooked! Our server Erin did a fantastic job! Super friendly, made great recommendations and made sure we were well taken care of! We’ll definitely be back to try out the oysters and the big fisherman’s platter next time!
