     The food was amazing. The waitress kept things moving which we appreciated but the folks at the front check in were so snobby, unwelcoming and short. There was no welcome to the restaurant with a smile.  The two folks that were working on Sunday night should definitely not be in customer service.

    Always a favorite when we are in the city. Our server JJ was fantastic. New Fall drink menu combined with some old favorites from the menu made for a great dinner.

    Service Impeccable ! We went there for oyster happy hour; got 4 different kinds and all of them were fresh, crisp and delicious. Drinks and food come out fast, but there absolutely no feeling of rush although the place is super busy every customer is being taken care of diligently. We are visiting from Detroit for the weekend, I want to go back before we return home. Wonderful place!

    Hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at! The service is impeccable. It’s hard to find a place that takes pride in their service anymore but this place is run like a well oiled machine. The crab cakes are to die for!
