The restaurant has a lively bar, comfortable booths and additional tables. Outside seating also. The menu is innovative with fresh seafood, local fare and sushi. It is the best... More

Three couples and 6 diffrent meals. We would all go back again. The mussels, duck and lamb stew were the big hits. Way too full for desert. More
