Not happy will not return even though previous experience with the chef’s other venues have been 5⭐️. Entree prawns/oyster combo dish offered disappointing and questionable non fresh mushy king prawns. Lobster should have pre cut flesh or accompanied by better cutting knife to assist the eating experience. Dessert “Vanilla Cheesecake” presented as chocolate cake squares without explanation??? Maître D did not show up at our table yet seemed to be circulating the room?

Loved our Happy Hour visit to the Doss House. Our server Lulu recommended a custom whiskey flight and mixed drinks which were delicious. The bartenders are creative & knowledgeable. Try to reserve a table because the ambiance of the Doss House is best experienced inside. We just enjoyed drinks here and it was a wonderful kickoff to our evening. It is a bit pricey but worth it for the experience.
