    The service was outstanding. Highly recommend a reservation at busy times. We had one and the service was prompt and the food was delicious. I like the different option for food.

    The Mother's Day brunch menu was fantastic! Party of 5, and we each tried a different item. All were amazing! The waitress had some larger groups to serve, and she didn't miss a beat. The service was excellent!

    Third time here. Culinary delights are always done exquisitely. Nice ambience. Only negative I can comment on was our server had asked if we wanted bread, to which we agreed to. When we got the bill, we noticed there was a $5.00 charge for the bread. Now I’m not quibbling about the $5.00, but I believe our server should have informed us there would be a charge when he first asked if we wanted bread.

    I love this restaurant. But I don’t like the current version of the lettuce wraps. There is too much liquid so they very messy to eat. I would like to see the previous version brought back.

    We reserved a booth for some quietness during dinner and we get seated in front of the kitchen and exit area. Took FOREVER to get drinks or even waited on. My boyfriend ordered the oysters for his entre and got violently sick upon leaving the restaurant. Will not go back and will not recommend the restaurant to anyone!!!

    Debi, we only had one Debi reservation on the 19th and it looks like it was a online reservation. There weren't any notes listed on the reservation requesting a private or quiet area. Unfortunately in a busy restaurant like ours, it is quite difficult to offer a quiet area. Did you make your request when checking in? I do sincerely apologize if your request was not met. In the future, if we have the opportunity, I would encourage you to ask for a manager so we may assist in making sure your requests are met. Regarding the oysters, we go through a tremendous amount of oysters and we have not had one complaint. We source our oysters through Pacific Seafood, a highly reputable seafood company. Please contact to further discuss if you'd like. Chef Derrin

    Food and service was outstanding, we will return, however being on a limited budget, we only go out for special occasions. We were not disappointed in our selection of the Waterfire for my 75th birthday.
