I had the Mediterranean Branzino that was served with fennel and salsa verde. It was delicious! The branzino was cooked to a flaky perfection and had the hints of citrus that paired perfectly with the fennel and salsa.

What is the service like?

The service is impeccable – the staff is knowledgeable, and friendly. Specifically, the sommelier was very knowledgeable and helped me choose a fantastic wine that was the perfect pairing for my Branzino. We went on a Tuesday evening, which was relatively slow, but I’m sure with the systems they have in place, the service would have been just as good on a busy Friday or Saturday evening.
