The food was fantastic—we kicked off with calamari for an appetizer, then shared the day's special: swordfish paired with sweet potato and onion rings, along with a grilled shrimp Caesar salad. We enjoyed a few drinks as well, but the highlight truly was the outstanding service. Our waitress, Nicole, was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Tanya, the other waitress on duty, also checked in with us while Nicole was busy with other tables, ensuring we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this restaurant, and we will definitely return. I wish I had taken a better photo of our meal, but by the time I remembered, we were already digging in!

The prices for the fresh seafood are surprisingly low, especially when compared to what you might find in the market. This place is truly a hidden gem! The ambiance is cozy and intimate, making it quite inviting. I can only imagine how stunning the view of the water must look during the daytime.
