"Everything was wonderful! The service was lovely, helpful, and accommodating. We had wonderful recommendations and ended up letting them bring us their choices, and we were not disappointed! We had shrimp to start, a fantastic wine, and then split the turbot which was beyond delicious. Go, put yourselves in their hands, and enjoy!"
