Guests love the seafood bar, hearty mains like the Tomahawk Pork Chop, and crowd-favorites like the Martinique Salad.

    beautiful job on the renovation! So much warmer and inviting. Not sure the food runner spoke English… she brought the food out and just stood there. we had to look at the dishes to find out who had what salad. she was nice but they need to teach tell them what dish is what and then give it to that person

    We were dining with 3 vegetarians and there were no hot food entrees available which was very disappointing. Service and the happy hour were good but would not return due to the lack of vegetarian options.

    Had a reservation Christmas Eve at 7:30. Server greeted us with I need your drink orders bar is closing at 8 pm. She missed my husbands 2 drink order. Then rush and shoved everything together. She proceeded to tell us at tip time Sorry for making you feel rushed but I want to get to my family too. Now I understand that, but maybe not working would have been better? We have two daughters working Christmas Eve too. They didn’t get home until late. Food was good but service ruined our experience!

    It took a while for our foods to come out when it wasn’t crazy busy. However, the servers were really nice! They offered a round of drinks on the house to make up for the delay in our foods coming out. In addition, since we were out for my birthday, a dessert was also on the house as they considered it a birthday dessert. Already planning on coming back in the future to try more of their food!
