A very elegant, yet casual, restaurant that caters to the very wealthy of the area. Valet parking($2) is a must because of the location- right across the street from the ocean. The wait staff is mostly European and does a fine job of making you feel comfortable in the sleek ambience of the dining room. The bartenders are very handsome and carefully trained. The wines are excellent and the restaurant is has been awarded the Winespector Award of Excellence for its list.

Favorite Dish: I really enjoyed a number of items but always started dinner with the Insalata Caprese. The tomatoes were always sweet and of the correct ripeness and the Mozzarella was divine. The basil was always fresh and the balsalmic vinegar and olive oil were top notch!

Although it was primarily a seafood restaurant, the chef did a superb Prime Rib!
