                          The food and service were outstanding, but we were disappointed in knowing that one of their best staples, Salmon, will no longer be on the menu regularly any more, but only as an occasional “Special.” We have very much enjoyed going there, and counted on this being on the menu and available to order, but unfortunately with this latest info, we will only be going there occasionally vs regularly. The new fish choice there, halibut, will not replace the salmon.

                          We waited 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive and my daughters drink was delivered and they forgot about mine. After asking twice she finally delivered my white wine which was warm and I asked for ice cubes. We then ordered calamari that was cold in the middle and was all tentacles. I had the chicken dish for dinner and there was so much sauce that the dish was overflowing. I did order another glass of Pinot Grigio which also came out warm again. We will not be back for $170 it was not worth it.
