Review content:
I dined here last Saturday evening along with four others. We had an 8:00 reservation and were seated promptly. The restaurant is attractive with a lovely ambiance. Unfortunately, it is so loud, you can hardly carry a conversation. \r
\r
Several of us imbibed in the house cocktail, which is made from passion fruit and I think, Jalapeno pepper. It was tasty, but you can only drink one, as it is a little on the sweet side. We ordered an array of appetizers, all of which were delicious. I'm partial to seafood and especially liked the crab and avocado appetizer. \r
The Sommelier was quite friendly and knowledgeable, so if your unsure what kind of wine to order, have him stop by your table. \r

My husband and I were each a little underwhelmed with our entrees, which was 3 large, grilled scallops, each served a top a small mound of mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach. They were both delivered cold and we had to send them back. The manager immediately came over to apologize, took away the cold meals and returned within minutes with fresh, hot replacements. He handled it exquisitely and it didn't detract from our dining experience. Although the dish itself was bland, it made for a nice presentation. I wish I had ordered the Halibut entree instead, someone else at our table did and was quite happy. It looked delicious. As for the other entrees, they all looked good, but since they were both meat dishes, I didn't try them. Everyone appeared to be enjoying them. Unfortunately, we didn't save room for dessert!\r
\r
If you don't mind straining to hear your dinner partner(s) and you like a lively atmosphere and an interesting selection of food, then this is the place for you. Did I mention that the service is terrific? \r
(I also noticed that when I got home, all my clothes and hair smelled like grease--which is probably due to the open kitchen).
Pros: Excellent service and knowledgeable servers
Cons: Too loud!
