excellent food and drinks - and no summer crowds. can be 4.5 stars based on the food (slight imperfections), but overall experience was excellent, hence the 5 stars.
the drinks were excellent - i had cucumber cooler 11, which was not very sweet and very refreshing, and the mexican mule, made with mezcal - if you like mezcal, this was much stronger, but still a very tasty drink.
for the appetizers we had salmon and white bean crostini - over very tasty (salmon rilette was a bit too dry), and kale caesar salad, which was excellent (my son, who is not into salads, asked for the second helping).
all the dinner dishes were excellent. padthai- great flavor, very classic, homey and delicious. teriyaki salmon was tasty, and crispy spinach it was served with was spectacular. sword fish was cooked just right and served with aromatic summer vegetables. tuna ratatouille was encrusted with vegetables and crispy fried (just a touch overcooked at the ends, but very tasty), and heirloom tomato compote was excellent.
all in all, an excellent meal.
great service - prompt and patient (took us some time to decide what to drink and then what to eat).
highly recommended. also, this restaurant offers a nice refuge from humongous summer crowds by the wharf, so double highly recommended during summer.
