    I was looking for a place to take my family (wife and 3 adult children). Perfect location. Great food, great vibe for them. They loved the appetizers and the variety of mixed drinks. I had the Seafood Risotto from the Chef's menu. Would definitely recommend it. One son had the Shrimp Diablo. Nothing to take home. The other son had the Wagyu burger and seasoned fries (his 1st time trying Wagyu beef). He's coming back again next month with friends. My daughter had your Harvest salad with chicken. It was HUGE! My wife had your champagne fish and chips. I got to help her finish. So good. Paige was excellent as our server. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

    We were celebrating birthdays: the table was decorated to that theme, and the meal capped off with a birthday dessert. Started with well designed cocktails. Loved the opportunity to compare types of oysters. Entrees were delicious and well proportioned. Wait staff was very attentive. I love this restaurant!

    We dined in one of the tents in back. It was a beautiful setting and very private. Our waiter did a fantastic job of attending to us and making us feel comfortable and not rushed. We had several pastas and they were all good but not over the top delicious.
