5.0I’ve been here a few times now, and I say it’s great for special occasions because it’s pretty pricey – but the ambience is spectacular – very bright big room in the back with beautiful sea-themed decorations throughout. Make sure you sit in back though so you get to experieince this, if you sit in front, it’s nice too, but you’re overlooking the bar, and it kind of feels like you’re sitting above a walkway. Guess it’s good for people watching, but just feels like overflow seating. Food is primary all seafood focused – very fresh, clean, solid flavors – sometimes a little to basic though. Apps & desserts were actually better than main dishes. You pay really for the experience & ambience.
The concept and design were beautiful, turbot stuffed with seafood foie gois, and then in cabbage leaves and steamed – but the turbot was a little too fishy flavored for me. on top of carrots & celery confetti, added good flavor to otherwise strong/bland fish.

2.0I was a little disappointed in the food… the halibut smells good but it is somewhat tasteless… I felt like the melon salad was a total rip off… but the sole was delicious.. i order a chocolate cake for desert… something i can totally make at home and it would taste the same.
Service was good… like the ambiance.
