This was better than expected. I had the salmon bowl, which was very fresh salmon, rice, salad, and brussels sprouts. I thought it was a great meal. The service was outstanding.

Everything was wonderful and I especially liked the half portion option on many dishes. The only “complaint I have is I wish there was a little more diversity and choice for the seafood.

The waiter was very enthusiastic and the food was amazing per usual. We were disappointed that our table was not ready when we arrived when I think I made the reservation weeks ago. I did have a dog, but they didn’t seem to mind. There were plenty of tables outside and we ended up in the corner. A couple after us got a better table right in front of ours.

We went with the prefixed menu and the scallops and filet were both excellent choices. The food was excellent quality and was perfectly prepared. The service was outstanding and the restaurant always has a great vibe.

We wanted fish. We weren't sure what was on their menu. We were pleasantly surprised to find Cajun salmon with shrimp and mahi mahi in lemon basil sauce. Both were delicious. We are not happy with paying for a Caesar salad that used to be included in the price. All the good sides that aren't potatoes are now Premium sides you have to pay extra for. Patrons who are trying to eat healthier don't want to eat bread and potatoes. We need healthier standard sides. I'm allergic to broccoli so that doesn't leave much to choose from that doesn't cost extra. I did try the Brussel Sprouts. They are delicious and I will order them again.
