Our server was run off her feet as you were so busy but she still managed to provide excellent service and attention. The food was delicious and we will definitely be back!

Food is excellent. Cocktails are top notch. We found it VERY noisy at dinner time (5-7pm). It was difficult to carry a conversation over our small table of 3 people.

Order the chicken salad. Chicken was a generous portion and salad was ok. Problem was chicken was not cooked thoroughly. I had a couple of pieces before I realized. They took it back and provided a replacement. Unfortunately now my stomach has been upset since. Raw chicken is no joke and food safety must be assured as far as I'm concerned. Not impressed.

I made this reservation a week before hand and my whole family was so excited to try this restaurant. I had already previewed the menu online and had a good idea of what I was going to order. We were immediately greeted upon arrival and were shown to our seats. We got there in time for happy hour, which is supposed to be half price drinks. They are cheaper, but they are not half price. Drinks came out pretty quickly and were decent. When it came time to order our food the server informed us that pretty much half the menu was unavailable….. of course the two appetizers I had picked out were not available as well as the steak sirloin also not available… like I said, literally half of the menu they did not have. If I hadn’t already ordered my drinks, I would’ve got up and left… I ended up getting the over priced pizza. It was fine… not memorable. Pizza Hut would have sufficed at half the cost. The ambiance was super boring. My whole family was disappointed. Oh, they also had no oysters, which is half the reason we came here. As they advertise it online. So in conclusion, I wouldn’t waste your time coming here. I’m surprised this restaurant has made it this far. I don’t see it lasting too much longer at this rate. We spent over $400 and got Wendy’s a couple hours later.
