We were there for restaurant week. Seated at 5:45pm and didn’t leave there until 8:20pm. Food was very slow to come out. Had a ribeye which was good but the potatoes were cold. Must of been a staff problem. Loved being there though. Will definitely return. Didn’t mind anything it was fun being there and the other guests made it more enjoyable.

We were disappointed in the tuna appetizers and the specials. Tuna was over cooked and the special was just ugh. Too much cream sauce, the crab cakes were forgettable and the seasoning on the meal was overwhelming. Our server, on the other hand was awesome! Very attentive and friendly. Knew his job and was very efficient.
