“I had the Branzino, it was delicious. My friend ordered the roasted chicken and we shared the side of macaroni. The food was an 11/10. Then came our service. Eli needs a raise, he knows what he is doing! He made our experience more enjoyable and delivered very professional service. The drinks were delicious and the scenery was beautiful. I highly recommend!!”
