The historic tale says that the sailors would “prove” the strength of their rum rations by pouring it on gunpowder & igniting it to ensure it had not been watered down.Experience new-American fare and craft cocktails with bold flavors. Each dish emphasizes technique and texture to showcase the versatility of seasonal ingredients and locally-sourced seafood and meat.

The food was tasty and served well. The service was appreciated. However, the parking validation was not complete. We had a bad experience when we exited the parking facility because the validation did not work. It was very frustrating. Every other experience was very well done.

We were impressed the moment we were seated at our table which was elegantly set with white tablecloth and sparkling glassware . White jacketed waiters were a testament to the lost art of professional service that seems to exist only in fond memories. The assortment and display of epicurean seafood was the crown jewel of this expansive delicious brunch.
