Expensive and small dishes but they are all very special and a worthy dining experience. Great view and love that they have a coat rack

We came for Happy Hour (2-4pm). Ordered everything on the happy hour menu. Most of the food items are great. See comments in each photo below. Forgot to take photos some of the food items and of the chocolate moose at the end. The chocolate moose was wonderful, not too sweet. I was already full from the food earlier but couldn’t resist the chocolate moose. Very nice staff too.

Love the attentive staff. Delicious menu and drink options. The view is always gorgeous in this warm and inviting space. Outdoor seating is available in summer months with a waterfront view above the dock. Great spot for Sunday brunch, lunch or dinner anytime. Full bar. Validated 2-hour parking in lot under the complex. Consistently deliver 5 stars!

What a treat to have some French inspired brunch. We opted to share a couple of appetizers as well as coffee from the bar to start our morning with a kick. My only demerit is we ordered the avocado toast with a poached egg and the egg was missing. We didn't make a fuss since it was busy with plenty to eat. There was a large group having a birthday party. They were not rowdy, just loud talkers and I think that made it hard to hear where we were. Other parts of the restaurant away from that table were much quieter. The view was great, the staff was friendly and the food was tasty. I had the French onion soup. I make my own and wanted to try their version. Very enjoyable, but maybe too much cheese. The sourdough bread, salad, sample platter were great. However, the coffee cake is what really stole the show. It was light and fluffy while still being moist and not too bitter, which some coffee cake can be. Excellent!

The sun was out we decided to go to lunch. We walked to this restaurant assuming we would not be able to get a table. But they had one available outside. It was a glorious day and the food was spectacular. We had a lamb dip. I do not like lamb and this was amazing. Service outstanding, drinks outstanding and ambiance outstanding.

We were a group of 8 people to celebrate my birthday and we loved the atmosphere and the service. Our waiter was a nice and charming lady. All the staff were friendly. We will definitely come back here

This place is so charming, great for a date night or go out with friends. It is calm and not too loud. The food is amazing, we tried some of their dishes, and a dessert. Everything was so tasty and balanced. Their wine selection is great. The chicken... oh my oh my, amazing!! I have zero complaints. We will come back soon.
