Went for brunch and waited 40 minutes for "our" table despite other tables being available and the hostess lying about it. Once seated, the wait for someone to give us menus and then serve us was too long considering not being crowded. Food is average with very small portions, but very expensive...$23 for two small pieces of toast with a litte crab salad on top? Nice looking room especially during the day but poor service and expensive small portions of average food certainly does not have me coming back anytime soon...suggest you avoid it as well.

Birthday for my 82nd year old dad. The restaurant remembered that I had written a note in the reservation that he was celebrating a birthday . They brought a Prosecco toast and a dessert with a candle. I was impressed they read the reservation note and made the experience so nice !!

The arugula salad was so gorgeous and sumptuous and so enormous that I thought it would be impossible to finish. But it was so good that we couldn’t put our forks down. Our server was so accommodating and pleasant that I can’t say enough nice things about him. All in all: a delightful experience on a beautiful day with a lovely water view.

We reserved dining room seating and we sat in the bar. When we requested to move we were treated rudely and made to wait to see what could be done. They finally “ found” a table.

The scallops were delicious. However, the Crispy Artichokes were tough and a little over cooked.
