What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the expertly prepared steaks, standout seafood options like the Chilean sea bass, and the craft cocktails that are as photogenic as they are delicious. Many mention the professional, friendly staff and appreciate the restaurant’s ability to cater to both special occasions and quick, casual visits. The elegant decor and harbor views consistently get high marks, making it a favorite for pre-show dining.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that prices are on the higher side—this is definitely a treat-yourself spot rather than a budget eatery.

We had an excellent experience. Starting with front of house service, Kevin who was extraordinarily helpful around coordinating reservations and listening to what we were hoping for in terms of seating. All staff from the bar to our server Tyler were incredibly friendly, knowledgable and professional. The food was exceptional from starters to mains: lobster bisque, truffle deviled eggs, Atlantic Cod w/ lobster and gnocchi and a lovely, well curated wine list. Can't wait to go back!

Liked: Excellent service and food.
Disliked: None.
