Our experience wasnât better because the AC seemed to be off, and it was not comfortable temperature wise. Other than than the food was fantastic.
Food was good! Busy place so service was what would be expected with staffing, not bad but just a few delays. Temperature inside got very warm to where all guests at table beside us complained about the heat. Got progressively warmer during dinner which led us to skip dessert and leave.
Inside was extremely hot, felt poorly upon leaving due to not enough air conditioning.
Food was Good (not fabulous) so did not warrant the âfabulously high pricesâ. Service was fair - very nice / personable, but had to ask someone to get our server multiple times. Atmosphere was fair - A/C was not working so very stuffy - mgr came by to apologize and let us know they were working to resolve it. Made a reservation via OpenTable. Reservation was ready as requested, but made a note in reservation was my wifeâs 50th Birthday and no mention was made of it. Overall - not upset, but not impressed.
Nothing inspired here. Would probably return for drinks and appetizers but not a full meal. Calamari was the highlight of the meal adn well executed - no chewy rubber bands here. For Entrees: Seared Red Fish was not well seasoned and slightly over done - the flavors on the other plated items were muted. Shrimp and Grits was a bigger fail.. Southern grits should not have the texture of whipped potatoes. Plating was more like soup. Sauce needed thickening and a bit more spice. Shrimp were def quick sauteed in the light sauce so they didn't pick up much flavor.Nice atmosphere, live music, good cocktails..
We ordered the watermelon salad and lobster roll. The food was tasty but very pricey.
It was my sonâs birthday Food: super small portions , the description on the menu doesnât match what we were served ( you will leave hungry) Price: super expensive for what you get super small peace of red fish for $36 The barley was pretty nasty ( donât recommend) Service ; not great we has to get up twice to ask for water There are great restaurants were you pay $36 for a dish and you will be very satisfied Not this one !
An overall pleasant experience!
Arrived for early dinner at 5:30 reservation time and seated right away. Wait staff was prompt and non-intrusive. Their signature cocktail of old fashion was excellent; so was the rose' cocktail. We had the catch of the day which was Halibut. It was a huge portion cooked to perfection. Juicy and hot served on a bed of spinach in citrus gastrique. perfect. Grilled oysters, smoked whitefish, hushpuppies, watermelon salad and the plum salad were delicious. dessert was chocolate gelato and expresso.
Apps were good Oysters and burrata Shrimp and grits bland Wine selection is very limited for such a high end restaurant Both glasses I had were hard to drink
