    The food and service was the standouts by far. Our server made food suggestions that were top notch, it was a bit noisier than expected but there were quite a few larger parties given the holiday. We will certainly be back

    I mainly wanted to eat the crab claws. People had plates overflowing with eaten crab claws and they ran out. At 1:45 there were zero. Very disappointed. They rarely came by our table to pick up used plates and brought us tepid coffee and never came to offer us refills. I don’t understand why they add on 22% gratuity automatically. I worked in the hospitality industry for 15+ years and worked for my tips…didn’t just expect it.

    From start to finish a well run restaurant. The hostess was friendly and our waiter was excellent. The food was exceptional with lots of flavor. It was also a very busy Christmas Eve dinner slot. Thank you! PS. Put some lights in the parking area since there’s no valet because it was very dark walking to the restaurant.

    My biggest gripe is there is no lighting in the parking lot… pitch black and so dangerous! No valet option! Food was marginal… way over priced! Get the cola cake for dessert!

    Our party of nine dined for lunch in the middle room, next to the bar. Hardly any other diners were there so we had the room all to ourselves, which was wonderful. The wait staff was excellent—very accommodating and kind. Everyone was quite happy with their meals. Two of us had the hanger steak with a wedge salad. All of it tasted great. The steak was very tasty and cooked to perfection. A few had a hamburger. Again, delicious. Everyone liked the assortment ment of desserts we ordered. My only complain—$37 for salad and a very small steak is quite pricey.
