    The food was well worth the price. We had the chicken fried lobster and the crab capellini. The lobster was incredible with the southern hot honey twist. The crab cake, lobster bisque, and calamari were also phenomenal. I would highly recommend. For two people the appetizer, a soup or salad each, and the entree were plenty of food for two people (we also got the pecan turtle cheesecake which is huge). We also got a side order of the delicious truffle mashed potatoes but it was something we had to box up.

    Great experience Banks. This was a W concierge recommended spot for close walking distance and good food, service and ambiance and it didn’t disappoint in the least. Beautiful interior - we sat on first floor near fireplace - service was fast and door was portioned perfectly and delicious. Highly Recommend!
