    This is the model for a great seafood restaurant… came here serendipitously two years ago not expecting anything.. was shocked a restaurant this good could be so far from an ocean. Returned today… hoping it was still great. It is. The staff greeted us warmly as if we were well-liked regulars. The atmosphere softly lit, with every table full, yet without feeling over-crowded. The menu just right… all the favorites.. with nice touches and specials… all fresh. Dessert offerings were solid… and maybe that best describes this restaurant… a solid 9 out of 10. It would hold its own in Manhattan, Miami Beach , Boston or LA.

    We went on an off Friday night because there were no shows playing in the area. It was a quick walk from the Q and the food was great! The bread was phenomenal and service was fantastic.

    Christopher took care of us really well. Despite being arguably one of the best steak stops in Cleveland? We went for the seafood tower. Mac n cheese side and a chicken spring roll app. Food was incredible, everyone was attentive and the ambiance was superb. Honourable mention: the bananas foster desert is table made and done so beautifully. 10/10

    The cuisine was fantastic.... very busy for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, but not unexpected service was slow because of staff shortage. My daughter is a sous chef and actually applied here. Needless to say, she didn't even get an interview. They needed help this day for sure
