   The tables and chairs are a bit old. The bathroom was the worse and we dined at the start of the day. The bathroom smells and it’s outdated. The entire place could use renovations. The food was ok. The calamari was over cooked. My shrimp meal came with soup which was pretty good but there weren’t many shrimp on the lunch plate, considering the price. The service was great. Miesha was our server and she was great.

   Only issue is the music was pretty loud, it kinda cheapened the experience . Like we were in a bar or something. Other than that the food was very good, the jalapeño granita with the fresh oysters was special. Def recommend the sugar spice salmon, the risotto was impressive and the fish was cooked perfectly. The jumbo lump crab cakes, I was skeptical…, they were maybe the best I’ve had in the area. Overall it was a really good experience just a lil less classy than I had originally thought… it was my first time at this location.

   Went here for late dinner on NYE, had a 9:45 reservation, we were rushed out (lights up and music off within 35-40 mins) bc apparently the restaurant closes at 10, doesn’t make sense if reservation is at 9:45. Food was ok and server did his best but it was obvious that he wanted us out which I understand on NYE but then don’t offer a 9:45 reservation. I understand that this was a holiday situation but we won’t be going back there again. Whole party was very disappointed especially when you spend $$$.

   We made this reservation for NYE without looking at the reviews. On the way to the restaurant the mixed reviews caused us to worry about both the quality of service and food. We decided to stick with our plan and to write an honest review of our experience. Our reservation was at 915 pm and we arrived around 850 asking if our table would be ready early in which we were immediately sat at a table. As someone who commonly finds restaurants to be too cold, the temperature in the restaurant was comfortable. Our server Daniel greeted us within 3 minutes and although there were stains on the menu, gave us great recommendations among our choices. After ordering, he even asked if we had any allergies or dietary restrictions. Bread was warm and came out quickly. Gave it a 6/10 comparing it to other places known for their bread such as Outback and Texas Roadhouse. It was a sourdough with garlic butter. I had ordered the mixed greens salad with candied walnuts and blue cheese. It arrived within 6 minutes and was refreshing with a perfect amount of dressing. Delicious! We ordered the Berry Berry Mojito (7/10) and the Prosecco Sangria (9/10). The mojito was a great rendition of the classic mojito with blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries but could have used a little more mint and less syrup. The sangria was light and refreshing due to the cucumber but could have had a touch more strawberry flavor. For an appetizer we ordered the crab cakes (8/10). Flavor, and presentation were all amazing with large pieces of crab and just enough filler to keep it together. However we would give this a 5/10 due to the price of $26 for only one crab cake even though it was about the size of a half of an avocado. I ordered the filet mignon cooked medium and although it came out more on the medium rare side it was cooked to my liking with good seasoning and flavor. The broccolini was cooked perfectly, not overcooked or undercooked as someone who doesn’t like raw broccoli or mush

   We had a wonderful dinner--the food was excellent, the service was stellar, and the ambiance reminded us of being at a private club. This was a siblings' Christmas celebration, so the bar was set high...and we were completely satisfied with our choice to dine here. Highly recommend!

    We didn’t have the best seating, a large column with coat hooks attached to our table blocked the view. However, the food and service were excellent. Our server was extremely attentive and professional, so we left a generous tip to show our appreciation for his outstanding service.
