    Went for Anniversary. Bisque was excellent as were the lamb pops. My wife had watermelon salad and seared tune, both excellent. Service was great. Atmosphere was very pleasant and the views over the harbor as the moon was rising, can't be beat

    Food and service were excellent. The location is perfect, especially on the deck. We were surprised the restaurant was not more full at 6pm Sunday. Quite expensive, but worth it.

    Food and staff were excellent. Not too busy on a Saturday evening though so hopefully one of our favorite spots survives.

    Our second visit and first for dinner. It did not disappoint! The frito misto was heavenly with tender calamari, shrimp, and assorted vegetables (sweet potato!) all lightly fried and garnished with an array of herbs. I had the lobster roll - fantastic with potato salad. My husband and I believe our mothers have been reincarnated and are making potato salad in the restaurant! My husband had the smash burger and fries which tastes like you wished a Big Mac tasted like. 😁. Portions are generous. And the wine list is great. I enjoyed a wonderful Nebbiolo.

    Our second visit and our second pleasurable experience. The food was excellent and the outdoor seating comfortable and not crowded. Waitstaff still working on getting everything right, but that will come along. Overall, we look forward to our next visit.

    Second time here to the new “Studio”. Food was great the first time, but service was still a work in progress (had only been open 2 weeks). They figured that out now. Incredible experience this time- service, drinks, and food were very very good. Sicilian Cod was amazing. Everyone had a great meal.
