This is my favorite restaurant on the peninsula. We are never disappointed when we go here for special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries. The fish is always the best I've ever had and I tend to get stuck ordering the same thing every time I go just because it is so good. I recommend people to go here all the... more

The tables are very close together in this restaurant and the rooms are small. It was very noisy We were unable to carry on a conversation. The food may have been good (but not exceptional), but I couldn't enjoy it and couldn't wait to leave. I would not go back or recommend this restaurant more

We strolled in on a Sunday night, it's a big restaurant and tables are close together but was quiet when we were there. Decor is minimalist and unremarkable. Our waitress was consistently attentive without being in your face and water was repeatedly topped... more

My husband and I dined here for our 5th anniversary while visiting the area from CT. I have to say we were both highly impressed and we dine out and travel a lot. They put pretty ribbon on our table and wished us a Happy Anniversary upon being seated -nice touch. Also a candle was placed in our dessert. The... more
