    Great food, accommodating and professional staff in a beautiful setting. The wait staff team well with the buss staff. It feels that there is oversight and collaboration to achieve a high customer service experience that is never intrusive. I needed help to coordinate my reservation for five and made a change of date. The email communication was prompt and helpful.

    Went for lunch me day and dinner the next because we loved the sushi rolls and margaritas at lunch, however, the sesame crusted ahi was flavorless, and extremely disappointing and the sauce was not pleasant at all.

    Absolutely stellar in every way!! Parking was easy, we were seated immediately and our server was perfectly attentive. Do not miss the appetizer crab cakes. I actually wish we hadn’t split it because I craved all of them! (4). I had the Mahi-mahi and asked that it be completely cooked. It was perfect!!! I would be back there all the time if I lived closer!
