Reviews
I tried the grilled hamachi for the first time and it was good. It was a different for sure but the sauce it came with was nice. My kid had the fish and chips and the fish served was OK. Just a different type of fish than we were used to. But our waitress was great and loved the atmosphere.
Food, service and atmosphere were all impeccable. The only thing I can complain about is the prices. Obviously they can charge that because supply and demand, but still a little much. We will be coming back all the time though, the server we had (Young man, can’t remember name) was knowledgeable and accommodating. Food was fantastic we had the fish and chips and shrimp linguine. The live music was a nice addition to the atmosphere not too loud at all. They keep the bar and family dining slightly separate.
