My review of this restaurant:
There are many words one could use to describe this restaurant. I am just going to say, “WOW”.
There were four of us who dined together. Three had dived that day and the other had walked two miles. Everyone was starving and what a memorable delectable meal it was. Our party ate “soup to nuts” and the service was very nicely spaced out so that we did not feel rushed.
