Food was not up to what is could or should be, but it was very pleasant. Calamari appetizer nicely battered, but not having the promised flavorful punch per tantalizing menu description. Crab cakes were sweet, tender, moist, very nicely handled parcels of something flavorful, but missing any discernible crab flavor.

The bouillabaisse was disappointing, again without any variety of flavor and a weird pasty mouth feel to the insipid broth. Not bad, but not good either. It was warm and satisfying, but I would never order it again. The "white fish" with the bacon cream sauce was more successful. And the pineapple upside down cake was perfect, along with a credible creme brulee.

Notwithstanding the culinary disappointments from my personal perspective, this was a lovely dining experience and we will return and poke our way around the menu. No restaurant can hit home runs on every item. But they really should take the bouillabaisse off the menu or just call it a fish soup until they can inject the classic flavors, texture and haunting appeal of its original namesake.

Service was friendly, professional and went the extra mile to make it a very pleasurable dining experience from their perspective. Kitchen needs to put a little more love in what they hand over to the wait staff. Management needs to refine consistency of output, regardless of back stage crew.
