Excellent seafood and accompaniments with everything served efficiently. Nice wine selection with range of price points. Only negative was white wine served initially at too high temperature and noise of plate gathering from party group was loud. The overall atmosphere diminished by the outside covering (apparently for New Year’s Eve)
