    We had an excellent experience on Christmas Eve. The Deviled Crab was the table’s favorite appetizer followed by the Monkey Bread dredged in the crab’s tomato compote. The Flounder special was cooked perfectly and the portion size was enough to prevent Santa from coming down most chimneys. Don’t sleep on the cabbage side, even if you “don’t like cabbage”. It’s definitely a game changer. The dirty martinis are consistently top notch. Credence should be toward the top of every Must Eat Here list.

    Great selection and value for Christmas Eve dining! Wonderful rich lobster bisque with chunks of meat to start,followed by an 8oz filet mignon with crabmeat lumps. Other great choices as well. Personal service by U.T., our smiling waiter. Excellent wine choices with a wide price range. We had a nice quiet booth and went early before it got too busy. Impressive.

    I really like the menu. It has a little bit of everything. The ambiance is pretty. But I must say above all the service was excellent! Ask to sit in Kyla’s section. She is so nice so attentive. She smiled the whole time and it was busy when we arrived. She made my experience even better! Thank you!
