Best food, best service, best atmosphere on the Cristal Coast. Sorry, not an objective review :) more

I had the filet mignon which was quite good. My friend had baked calimari. He was not quite thrilled with his entree but not mainly because he thought he was going to be blown away by paying about $25 just for some calimari.

A great restaurant not only satisfies ones appitite for fine food, it entertains and surprises, it stimulates good conversation, exposes one to new experiences; broadens ones understanding of foods and cultures and when one leaves it is with the knowledge that they have been truly cared for and appreciated.

Black Risotto is something you don’t run into in this area very often. Cooked to perfection. And the combination of the rice with the... more

Amazing fresh seafood, wonderful flavors. Very creative appetizers. Owners are charming and the waitstaff was very attentive and knew their stuff. It will be the first place we visit next time we're on the Crystal Coast. more
