Great food, wonderful server. Couldn’t believe how fast our food and drinks arrived- our server made excellent recommendations and was so nice. A wonderful experience. Only negative was the noise level, but what do you expect at such a popular place. Totally worth it!!

It was a great experience! The DJ was awesome. I do suggest having the menu specify what items are cooked in shellfish. My waiter was awesome and verified all items for my sister and I as we have a deathly allergy. Specifying the items would increase the turn around for the order process as I felt bad having to constantly re-choose something and taking longer.

The space is well spaced and you have room between tables to where you don’t overhear the conversations next to you. The staff are super attentive without being always there. And the food is just excellent with perfect portion sizes.
