    Had a phenomenal dinner. Our waiter Fabian was spectacular. Made the whole experience even better great drinks. The halibut was spectacular. You absolutely have to get the oysters Rockefeller. Happy hour get the oyster dozen special is a plus. One thing to keep in mind if it’s really busy, there is a bar all the way to the left. Also that was wide open and we did not know it was there until we sat down to eat
