Beware...this place appears to be a tourist trap. Went there for Xmas eve dinner. Three of us ordered the sea food tower which claimed it fed 4 to 6 people....there were 3 half lobster tails, 6 prawns, 4 oysters on the half shell, deviled crab meat on a shell that was just awful. No crab legs....and barely enough for two.
The steaks weren't grilled....grey in color...no browning...almost like they were steamed. The deserts were excellent. Expensive restaurant ....think twice before going.

Valutazione “internazionale”, il locale molto bello, mangiare tipico, ma servizio non all’altezza. Il cioppino é il cibo tipico, una zuppa di pesce al pomodoro con mezzo granchio intero che va sgusciato con le mani, non danno una salvietta per pulirsi.
Il calice di vino portato in una caraffa monodose… piccole carenze di stile, per il costo mi aspetto di più

Don’t take reservations if you are going to give such a shitty service on christmas. Good food, really really bad service. Also we ordered a 2018 expensive wine and they brought a 2021 and charged us with the same price and the food was almost cold. A real shame on Christmas Eve.

I found the food to be very good, fresh, and a good sized portion. I must say that the star of the show was our waiter by the name of Greg. He was an older gentleman and he was so incredibly nice, professional, and very very attentive. Me and my
wife celebrated our anniversary last night and it was such a pleasure having Greg wait on our table…This man deserves a raise….My wife and daughter both ordered the salmon which they state was cooked to perfection and my angus ribeye was very flavorful and cooked the way I liked it…. Calamari appetizer was ample and delicious…..
The only thing that would have made it a perfect experience is if the restaurant was 5-6 degrees warmer. It was quite cold inside and my wife had to put her jacket back on. Although my wife was there for the the first time yesterday Ive been there a total of 3 times and its always been cold inside…

We had a 4:00 PM reservation on Sunday, December 14 to celebrate our anniversary. When we arrived, the host mentioned we could either keep our reservation or choose the bar area for happy hour, so we opted for the bar.
That ended up being a big mistake. We sat in the bar seating area for over 30 minutes without anyone coming over to take a drink or food order—or even acknowledge us. We finally flagged down an employee and explained we had been waiting and were ready to order. We were told someone would be right over, but after another 15 minutes, still no one came.
At that point we were so disappointed and frustrated that we left and ate somewhere else, where we were greeted and served immediately. This was supposed to be a special anniversary meal, and the lack of basic service completely ruined the experience. I can’t speak to the food since we never got the chance to order, but the service that day was unacceptable.
