Our table for my husbands birthday was perfect. Table for 2 by the window.
Wonderful view!
Our oysters were terrific. The calamari needed help-smelt and tasted of bad grease and batter does not stay on pieces-
Sushi was perfect.
Waitress could have been more polished. Picked up all the stacked dirty plates while my husband was still eating/
