The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was great! We ate outdoors overlooking the water, which made for a beautiful setting. There was also live music playing—easy listening and a nice touch to the evening. It was a bit loud at times, but overall, we had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant!
