We had no plans for Valentines Day (silly me) so I checked Open Table for a local seafood restaurant. I was expecting everything to be booked but there were several available reservations so I took a chance. They did not disappoint. Quiet and cozy is the best way to describe the establishment. I had the Shrimp in garlic sauce as an appetizer and the Codfish potatoes and peppers as an entree. I’m not big on seafood when I eat out but this was the best I’ve had. We will be returning for date nights. A definite hidden gem. PS: I don’t drink but I hear the Sangria is amazing.

I've been here too many times to count. So what my family who's never been experience with the food was embarrassing to me. The lobster was blended. The rice was old. My sister ended up ordering a side of rice ( that was freshly cooked and very good ) because her mash potatoes were cold and tasted horrible that came with her salmon. I don't know if it was because it was the day after Thanksgiving but I was very disappointed and so was my mother and we was there to celebrate her birthday. Jessica our waitress was super nice and professional

The outdoor seating ambiance is really nice & intimate. Our food was good and the service was good as well. We were not too impressed with the specialty drinks we ordered so decided to play it safe with wine for our second round. Overall a nice place to try, I would go back to try different items on the menu.
