    Made a lunch reservation for 2 people @12:15pm. The restaurant was basically empty (only a few tables with guests seated) when I arrived. We were seated immediately at a window table with a fabulous view. A friendly server arrived promptly & answered all our questions about the menu items. My friend and I shared Caesar salad, king salmon, goat milk cheesecake and cappuccinos, all of which were delicious, well prepared and beautifully presented. We enjoyed this tasty lunch and impeccable service… we’ll be back!

    Loved both the ambiance and the food, which is a rare combination for me to find! Best wings I’ve ever tasted as appetizers and the salmon as a main plate was incredible. It was my son’s birthday and the lovely hostess had thoughtfully sprinkled confetti on the table before we arrived. May this restaurant live long and prosper!
