    Amazing waitress, amazing recommendations had help figuring out which drink i like to explaining entrees on the menu the server was excellent staff was helping each other and you could tell they cared about getting their job done. AMAZING location and scenery , hot fresh quality food and when you can tell the kitchen understands flavor profiles it’s impeccable. there’s not one i found wrong or would even do differently. Burger was amazing yes just a burger but elevated added egg bacon it was really tasty along with the crispy seasoned fries. The salmon was to die for cooked perfectly the ginger sauce was so amazing i really wanted to lick the plate. Crab soup was good and my garden salad was also fresh. The mussels with garlic wine was tasty as well i practically drank the broth like it was a soup. 10/10 recommend celebrated a special birthday here and it really felt special.
