Fine dining at its finest! The atmosphere, service, and food were impeccable. Loved the open kitchen, attentive staff and beautiful views. Everything we had was amazing but the filet and scallop crudo were our favorites. The perfect restaurant for a very special dining experience. We hope to return soon!
