    We had a reservation for dinner and when we got there, there was a sign on the door that they were closed. No explanation. Just closed.

    Service was simply outstanding. Food specials taste and presentation excellent. Table location a slight issue with noise due to proximity of main kitchen access. Definitely a restaurant to experience.

    Our server was attentive, pleasant, and courteous. The food was delicious but it was barely lukewarm when we received it. We’d go back.

    The restaurant has a great location. The view is excellent. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. A couple of issues. First, know that the kitchen closes at 8 o’clock. This seems somewhat early to me, but maybe this is typical for this area. Being out of town visitors, this was surprising to us. The food was well prepared. The prosciutto on the Charcuterie board lack a bit of taste. The remainder of the board was nice. The beet salad is excellent. The fish protein portions are quite small.  the wine by the glass selection is a little bit limited.
