My adult daughters & I had dinner here on a Saturday night. It was loud & crowded, but the staff was friendly & worked hard to keep the food & drinks coming. We ordered the Not Mac & Cheese (very good, you would not have guessed it was butternut squash), burrata (deeelish!), carpaccio (very fresh), beet salad (goat cheese was perfect), & mussels (broth was garlic heaven). The place has an eclectic, funky vibe somewhere between a disco & an art exhibit. It was a little too loud for normal conversation, but fun.

Server was great as was the view and the extensive beer on tap menu. Cioppino was not good. Scallops, mussels and clams were good. Shrimp were tough and likely from cooking all day. Calamari was so tough it was inedible. Broth was ok but lacking any real zing. Tons of seafood, though, and I could not finish even though I skipped some per above. Expensive. Wonât be back.

The food was good but not exceptional. The atmosphere is very nice, As others have mentioned, the service was rushed. At this price point, it is decent value but I will not be returning anytime soon.
