    We have a new date night spot. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was energetic but still intimate. There was a DJ playing great music. We will most definitely come here again.

    This is our 3rd visit here. It was awesome, the oysters were perfect, we love the “ice” and the flavor of the cocktail sauce. Although the DJ was there the music wasn’t too loud. We were never without drinks or bread. Even though we were slow with ordering trying to pick what we wanted our server never made us feel rushed and the food came out hot and fresh and quicker than we expected. We will definitely be back!!

    we have been to this restaurant a number of times. the last few times the service and food has been questionable. the last two times the food was cold that should have been served hot. some of the food is outstanding but not all. the best service came from the young lady busing our table. short summary is hit and miss
