We ordered breakfast which was mediocre - not terrible, but nothing special. Our plans changed and we ended up eating here. My wife and I ordered different types of fish which were cooked well, but lacked flavor. The Buerre Blanc sauce was too acidic. The crispy potatoes were not actually crispy, just boiled. The desserts were cooked well but lacked seasoning. If the prices were lower, I wouldn't bother writing a review, but at $35, I expected more. We would have been better off ordering from Grubhub.

However, I must mention our server, Christian, and the manager on duty, Royce. Their attentiveness and dedication to our service truly stood out. Christian showed great passion and knowledge, going above and beyond to make our 6-year-old feel special. His recommendations were spot on, and his friendly demeanor was inspiring. Royce's carefree attitude added the perfect touch to our evening. I highly recommend dining at this restaurant.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we were told that the kitchen was secured and they could not take walks for the next 75 minutes. on the bar we waited for another couple to foot, even not with a reservation. they mentioned something about a previous time they were there, another host came by, a call was made and suddenly they sat. when I asked, the hostess told me and said they had a reservation!
