    We enjoyed the drinks and dinner. The bar area is rather dark and smells like it has a water issue. The bartender more than made up for it. Lighten it up. The rest of restaurant had a great vibe. Enjoyed all of the food.

    The sea bass is delicious. My daughter had the seared ahi tuna which was also delicious. Good for a special occasion. Prices are comparable to other restaurants in this category.
