| - Went here for a congratulatory graduation dinner with my boyfriend's and my family (10 of us in all). The wine selection was excellent, the sauvignon blanc that we ordered especially. Our server was very diligent about refilling our water and making sure that we had everything we needed.
The appetizers we ordered were the bruschetta and the stuffed mushrooms, and they were very savory and yummy. I had the scallops; they were a bit unevenly cooked but still had the right texture and a good sear. They risotto was a little al dente for my taste but it was still very good. I tried my boyfriend's salmon and it was very, very good, likely due to the sweet sauce they put on top of it, which complemented the salmon very well. My sister and her boyfriend both ordered the steak, which was well-prepared and tasty.
The only thing I did not like was the fact that it smelled so fishy when you walked in the door of the restaurant - that's to be expected, obviously, because it's mainly a seafood restaurant - but I always thought that fresh fish did not have a distinct fishy smell, and the degree of the scent threw me off a little at first.
Overall, it proved to be a wonderful setting for a great family dinner. It's been in the area for a very long time - my dad said he went to a birthday party here when he was only five! - it's obviously a staple in the area, and after this experience it's obvious why it's remained so popular. A very good restaurant for sea-food lovers.
