Customer Reviews
@leoperezphotos - Great service and food. Server Lorelai was attentive and friendly - had good wine suggestions. All dishes were either good or great. Great salmon, scallops, salads. Cornbread was creatively presented as a fish design but the thinness of this dish perhaps takes away from the essence of a traditional deep dish cornbread style. Monkfish could probably be better if it was a filet with no bones but did have a nice sauce.
The drinks are delicious, the hot cider was amazingggggg. The oysters were top tier, cleaned it super well and everything. Always love the seafood here. The steak tartare however was a lil chunky, and after a couple of bites, it felt really obvious that I was just eating a slab of raw beef lmfao. Maybe it should be a little bit more minced next time.... lol. Also someone was on what sounded like their first date next to us, so we also got entertainment. 😌
The food here is overpriced for the quality, but what truly disappointed us was the service — the worst we’ve ever experienced at any restaurant. My wife and I sat outside for dinner. The waiter initially seated us on a bench that made my wife’s back uncomfortable, so we politely asked if we could change tables since many were still empty. He said he needed to check, but then spent the next 10 minutes basically just chatting and laughing with another waitress, completely ignoring our request. When we asked again, he simply said we couldn’t move. Throughout the meal, the waiter was nowhere to be found — no refills, no check-ins, nothing. When we finished and wanted to pay, we waited another 10 minutes for him to show up. To make things worse, when it was finally time to check out, he skippe
Food came quick! Perfectly presented and was delicious, still salivating thinking about it a week later! We did feel like the staff were rushing us a little bit.
8 different kinds of Oysters!! Food was incredible. Drinks were strong! Highly recommended!!
