    We were initially seating inside. My back was to the bar and 2 men were standing with their ladies sitting on the barstools. They were blocking the aisle so people and waiters were bumping into me. The indoor server agreed with our dilemma and had a table and seating created for us outside near a heat lamp. Our server Alexis outside was AMAZING! She instinctively divided our food orders so we could share. Sea-bass was seared to perfection with the sauce on bottom, and scallops were tender and sweet. It was my boyfriend’s birthday and Alexis added a candle to both of our desserts (crème brûlée and chocolate mousse…scrumptious)! She was so pleasant and efficient. You have GEM in her. We will be back….when it’s warmer😜❤️!!

The starters are the perfect size to share and we decided to order an assortment of large plates. Everything from the menu is tasty and fantastic! Drinks and service were ready and well paced. Thank you for a fun night!
