Bridget Gael: LOVED this spot. Oxtail dumplings, charred gem lettuce, duck & chocolate coconut dessert were fantastic.
Cheryl Nguyen: Lamb belly is to die for. Tender and unctuous
Michael Kane: Has some decent appetizer veggie options but lacks entrees for vegetarians. They were out of the only two they offer tonight

Nathan Oventhal: EVERYTHING on the menu is made to perfection.Chef Yoshiara presents each dish in a unique and interesting manner. He makes the beets dish with red and golden beets,goat cheese and vinaigrette AWESOME
T Man: Fiji Cannelloni, Alaskan Cod, Flank Steak, not in order. Service efficient.
Natalie K: The Apple cannelloni dessert is hands down the best dessert I've ever had. Lobster fettuccini was also really good, but very creamy.
Katy Karas: Best deserts, had the triple berry pie! Homemade taste. Hugh slices. And staff was very friendly! From really fancy to homemade, all is yummy 😋
Jessica Alexandra: Definitely try their triple berry shortcake, my favorite!
ToryBurch: The butter cream confections are delicious at this old-fashioned bakery that also serves breakfast and lunch.

Sharmagne John-Sylbert: Excellent menu, impeccable service, views of the ocean and pier, cocktails before or after in the sumptuous hotel lobby make you feel like visiting royalty. On my list of favourites.
Andy Kimmelman: I've never been to a restaurant where the server seemed scared to come to the table. Then I had lunch here.
Mark Schwartzman: Filet was tasty as were sides. “Special” salad was pretty bland. $5 for bread!

Doug Hanshaw: Rigatoni with truffle meat sauce. Do it.
Brittany Letto: Highly recommend Veal Scallopini (served original way), the Branzino was so amazing & flaky/crispy, the White corn ravioli w/ black truffles was so rich & delicious! Choc soufflé & volcano for dessert
Doug McCracken: Sweet corn ravioli is delicious
