The food was amazing, the waiter was attentive, and the service overall was excellent. From a dining standpoint, everything on the table was on point. However, the inside was extremely loud. It was difficult to have a simple conversation across a table for two, which took away from the experience. The exterior of the building looks more like a fish market than a restaurant, though the inside is nicely done. That said, the seating layout and arrangement could use some improvement to make it more comfortable. To top it off, there was a very intoxicated patron at the bar as we were leaving, which wasn’t the best ending to an otherwise good meal.

We absolutely love dining with John at the bar on Sundays and Tuesdays! The Portabella mushroom appetizer is to die for and the hearts of Palm salad is hands-down, my favorite salad anywhere, I have a very difficult time going there and not ordering it. The nightly specials are always wonderful as well And I have many menu favorites. They also have a beautiful list and don’t miss the mascarpone almond cake for dessert! During season, I highly recommend making reservations. It is a very busy spot!

For me a 3.5. Overall a nice restaurant with pretty good food. Chowder was tasty but the best appetizer was the frito misto. Perfectly crunchy batter and not at all oily. While chowder was good it was a little inconsistent. Some bowls were hot but some were barely warm and it was a little watery. Octopus special was also good, octopus was tender and cooked well. PB&O was a little odd for my group. I think the kimchi flavor didn’t work for us. Fish and chips was an overall favorite, tender flaky fish and crispy batter but some pieces were soggy on the bottom . Caesar salad was good. Beautiful presentation and flavorful dressing. Garganelli was a little underwhelming. Sauce was a little bland and the lobster didn’t add much flavor.
