    Apps okay, service not too attentive, and sea bass was overcooked like tuna fish. Beautiful restaurant though!

    Best seafood I have had in a long time. The fish is prepared simply but the flavor is truly amazing. Many interesting wines by the bottle at reasonable prices. Service was wonderful. We will certainly go back.

    My only real problem with restaurant was the space. There wasn’t any separation of spaces which made the ambiance feel like an afterthought. The cocktails and service were pretty good. I certainly won’t find myself there again and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

    Went to celebrate two birthdays. They paid attention to me putting that on the reservation. All the food and drinks were great.

    Our server was fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful evening! I didn’t catch his name, but he recently relocated here from Chicago if that helps. I hope the management will recognize this stellar employee!

    Good food but overpriced and portions too small. All sides cost extra. There’s similar quality sea food to be found in DC at more reasonable prices/portions.
