Eating here has always been a pleasure and a treat! The happy hour specials (OYSTERS!) are served by the great bar staff and table service has consistently been delivered with friendly non-intrusive style. Our favorite downtown eatery!

Beautiful restaurant. Our server was really nice. The food was good. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, weren’t fans of it, the shrimp didn’t taste like anything. We also ordered the salmon and penne as entrees, those were good. Both those dishes were very flavorful. I would definitely come back, just probably order a different appetizer.

Dominic was a great waiter and very attentive. The food was very tasty, however the lobster was slightly overcooked. The steak was prepared exactly as ordered.

Wonderful dinner and ambiance. The inside is very interesting and nice. Service was outstanding. We loved the food but even the cocktails were superbly made. Best French 75 my wife said she ever had. Can't comment on desert because food was so good and portions well done that didn't have room!
