    I booked a table for my wife's birthday. The place was very busy, but the staff made us feel very welcome. When we sat at our table there was a happy birthday card signed by all the staff, which was such a great touch to the dinning experience. The staff were amazing and super friendly and they knew that someone at the table had a birthday! When it comes to the cocktails and the food, everything was outstanding and priced at great prices! We would 10/10 visit again and again!

    Everything was outstanding. I do not usually leave reviews but I think that this was worth while to let folks know. We were early for our reservation but they made an effort to accommodate us early. We were very lucky that they could do so. There is no area to actually wait for a table. They advise folks that they have limited space and that is true. The service and food was exceptional. Well worth dining here.

    Everything from our Calamari appetizer to our entrées of Mediterranean Sauce with Shrimp and Seafood Casserole were excellent. It also didnt hurt that we had a spectacular sunset overlooking Bristol Harbor. Our server Kristen was attentive and joyous. A great dining experience.
