We went for my daughter's 14th birthday and had a wonderful meal. Our server Jessica was amazing and probably one of the BEST I have ever had at a restaurant. We had the sea bass which was delicious and the crab cakes for an appetizer was very good. The ambiance is great and I can't wait to come back the next time we are in town.
