    Started out rough but our server saved the day! I made a reservation, arrived on time, was seated promptly on arrival, and for over 15 minutes watched others be seated and given water/drinks/etc. We finally stopped a server walking by to see if someone was assigned to us. He said yes, but came back a few minutes later stating they could not find her and he was happy to take our table. Fernando saved the day!!!! Food was great too!

    Great Old Town place! With such great real estate, you might expect the food to be just OK. Nope! Service and food are GREAT!

    I went there for dinner with a friend and it was my first time. Everything we ordered was delicious and my espresso martini was great. Fun atmosphere and lovely to be on the water. Will definitely go back.

    We had a lovely dinner. The view is beautiful, the food arrives quickly and is delicious and we had excellent service. My only warning would be the noise level, which is very loud during dinner on a pretty day.

    Great food, drinks and atmosphere. It is a noisy environment when sitting outside and the tables are very close to one another so not much privacy. Would definitely recommend!
