    Food was great except for burger which hd no taste. Our first table was near the front door and it was so cold you could not sit there without a coat. The manager was great and moving us to a new table.

    Long time lover of this restaurant. We now live in San Diego, and every time we visit our families in Virginia we dine here. Daniel was outstanding and fun to talk with. I always get the crispy flounder which is exotic and super flavorful. It is a whole fish which you will have to navigate, but so worth it. Get the sauced on the side so you can control the heat. The oysters were delicious last night too. Save room for the key lime pie. Only minor suggestion is to serve the after drinks before the dessert. We will see you again on our next trip East.

    Four of us, three of us were Veterans, came to experience the Veteran's Day Special and we were not disappointed. Two of us had the complimentary Ribeye Steak, which for me was the best I have had to include Capitol Grill, Morton's and Ruth Chris. My wife had the salmon and it was also delicious. Live music, $2 Eagle Rare Bourbon, absolutely fantastic food with top notch complimentary Veteran's Dinners, this was a Thank You I will long remember! I truly appreciate the generous gesture and I guarantee I will be back many times. Thank You!
