Wings are to die for. Fish tacos are amazing. Excellent customer service. Served in a timely manner. Only gripe was my surf and turf steak was a little overcooked. But overall an excellent experience and highly recommended.

It’s not a huge menu; but there is enough variety to find something. For those who care there are 2 washrooms that are gender neutral. I don't know why any negative reviews; this is our second visit and we're very particular about our seafood. NO COMPLAINTS here. For a starter we had a clams oregenata; an actual clam in a delicious sauce. Perfectly cooked and executed. I tried the sole francaise with a potato croquet and broccoli. Both the sole and potato were amazing. Hot, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I'm not a broccoli fan, so I can't comment on the vegetable. Although the size of the fillet was closer to the size of a flounder fillet. It was still toothsome morsel. I've caught and cleaned enough of both, but nevertheless it wasn't over cooked. She had the seared sea scallops. Not even a Michelin star celebrity chef would have a complaint with the way they were prepared. The portions are just enough and the flavors complimentary. The margarita wasn't boozy, too sweet, or unbalanced. It was a sipping drink that went down smoothly. She thoroughly enjoyed her **** Mary. It too, was just right. The espresso had actual schiuma! You need a machine for that. I just can't believe this restaurant isn't on coast; where really fresh seafood is always available and the patrons are used to exceptional seafood prepared and served to perfection. That's why the five star rating; if I could give an extra star I would.

The service was excellent, especially considering how busy it was. The oysters were perfect, and the surf and turf was delicious.

I opted for a refreshing strawberry basil lemonade. **Dinner:** He chose the linguine fra diavolo and finished every last bite, which is quite rare for him since he usually steers clear of pasta. I had the salmon with broccoli and a potato croquette. It was delicious, and the croquette was the standout piece—crispy on the outside and filled with flavorful mashed potatoes inside. **Dessert:** We decided to take dessert home with us. I warmed up the walnut brownie for about 20 seconds before diving in, and it was absolutely delightful! We will definitely be back for both the food and the stunning views.
