The food was very tasty and the flavors were “sophisticated “ according to our knowledgeable friends. The menu choices were very appealing, and the four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The views from the upper floor cannot be beat.

Dined here for my birthday this week. The citrus salad and the truly incomparable halibut will both haunt our dreams for the year to come. Service by Eric, including allergy accommodations was impeccable! Go!
