Found this place by coincidence just looking on Apple Maps and what a great find. It’s a cozy intimate atmosphere with extremely welcoming staff. The service was impeccable, you don’t feel rushed the waiters are very attentive. You can tell that everyone there really cares about the service they provide. The food?? AMAZING. All the vegetables and seafood we had was so fresh, and the food was so flavorful. I would recommend making a reservation especially if you’re coming around dinner time, it gets packed quick! I will definitely be coming back - Alicia T
