    Always a wonderful experience at this restaurant. During season time it is difficult to get a table so open table is a must. We have tried just about everything on the menu and everything is delicious. We feel that this is the best restaurant in our area and continue to patron regularly. The wait staff is very attentive, the atmosphere is quiet and lovely. Definitely recommend to everyone.

    Joined a friend for dinner on a Thursday evening. Food was delicious: Shrimps En Brochette and Mussels in a wine sauce. Delicious! The restaurant wasn’t very full so the noise level wasn’t too bad. I hope definitely to return again!

    Amazing experience and excellent food. The carrot Tarator is fresh and loaded with flavors. And the Mushroom Ravioli is also loaded with flavors in a light cream sauce. Fish is always fresh.
