It started off rough. However, Elias the waiter was Exceptional!! This place is popular. It was crowded, lively and LOUD! It's not for anyone who wants a quiet romantic dining experience. The food is really good. I will come again now that I know what to expect.

Service was good. We enjoyed and appreciated the complimentary bubbles to celebrate an anniversary. Oysters were good. Ahi tostadas were very good. Lobster pasta was average (came out lukewarm but didn’t have time to send back). Would return for brunch/lunch but unlikely to do so for dinner.

We thoroughly enjoyed the food at this restaurant. The quality was excellent, and the atmosphere was ideal – the noise level was just right for enjoying a pleasant conversation without distractions. The restaurant itself is lovely, especially the beautiful terrace, which is perfect for people-watching while savoring oysters and drinks on a nice day. That said, the service, while attentive, felt a bit overbearing at times. One suggestion: it would be great if the terrace could be better equipped for rainy days, perhaps with some sort of roofing. It’s such a charming space, and it would be wonderful to enjoy it year-round.

I ordered oysters on the half shell, they were excellent. I also ordered lobster bisque, it tasted concentrated as if it had been sitting, heating for a while, definitely not the best. I ordered a beer, but didn’t receive it until I reminded the waiter. Overall a nice meal.
