Great view and great food! Sea bass was cooked perfectly with the lemon butter and capers sauce. I got the butternut squash and mushroom farro risotto, although I’d probably skip the latter and go for the whipped potatoes. It wasn’t really a risotto, was a bit bland and a very small portion. My husband got whipped potatoes with his steak and that was delicious. Overall I liked the ambiance by the harbor and would come back to this location.

Paula our server was phenomenal, she knew the menu cold and paced our meal perfectly. Food was excellent. Seating could have been more comfortable and the day we came the sidewalk outside the front door was an iceslick. Simple things that could have made a very good experience excellent!
