This restaurant is defiantly my wife's favorite restaurant. Her favorite wine is here which we stock it in our fridge currently. Best appetizers ( bang bang cauliflower ) and the best seafood. If you have the chance for Sunday Brunch, we highly suggest their mimosas and waffles dipped in Captain Crunch? AMAZING! Modern and Chic, perfect for outdoor weather or a family celebration
