Our server quickly placed two small salmon appetizers in front of us without any explanation, then rushed off. To start, we ordered stuffed squid and escargot. The squid was rubbery, and while the escargot had good flavor, the sauce was far too watery. For our main courses, we chose a mixed seafood plate and paella. Both were very lackluster and bland, and the paella lacked any crispness. Given the poor food and service, I definitely won’t be coming back.

We arrived around 8:10 PM, and as we walked in, a waitress was clearing a table and mentioned that we had just missed the dinner rush before heading into the kitchen. The kitchen door stayed open, and another woman came out, giving us a smug look. Instead of greeting us, she looked us up and down and abruptly informed us that the kitchen was closed. My son expressed his disappointment, and she snapped at him, responding with a snarky comment. It appeared that several tables had just been seated, so it seemed we weren't considered the right kind of customers. If she had been polite, I wouldn’t have felt compelled to write this review, but I have never experienced such poor treatment. It's unfortunate because the three of us ended up at a different restaurant, where we spent over $250, plus a generous tip for our waitress and bartender. After reading several other reviews, it’s clear that we are not the only ones who felt unwelcome. We’re glad we took our business elsewhere.

The customer service is exceptional, with a personalized touch for each guest. Both the indoor and outdoor ambiance are lovely. Even the busy chef made an effort to stop by each table and engage with us. Trained in French cuisine, he creates truly amazing dishes. I will definitely come back whenever I'm in the area! Highly recommended!

We enjoyed dinner there, with the cost per person being approximately $30–50. I would give the food, service, and atmosphere a perfect 5-star rating. I highly recommend trying the Monk Fish, Mixed Seafood Grill, and Diver Scallops sautéed with Vodka and Caviar Sauce.
