    Dinner here was amazing. We had a 530 reservation. Place wasn’t too packed and the view of the ocean from our table was awesome. Matthew was our server and he was great!!Recommended me the Bronzino special and it was some of the best fish I’ve had in a while.  My girlfriend got the girl dinner promotion which was so fun. Was such a great value for the price of the dinner.
