This was our go to restaurant, one that I recommended to all my friends. We will not be back. Didn’t get our bread until our meal came out, Scallops were raw inside, steak was over cooked with no taste, crab bisque was okay, potatoes were not cooked all the way through, and veggies didn’t have taste. Later that night both my husband and I both started with severe stomach issues. The waitress was very apologetic, didn’t charge us for the scallops and provided free dessert. Extremely disappointed in the changes.

The food totally was sub par . We were regulars, now with the “changes” we will not be back. Our dinner totally sucked and I can’t wait to get home and wash the taste out of my mouth.

Wonderful food and drinks.

So this place was amazing family friendly. It seated a family of 10 during a special occasion it was lovely. My dish I had was a grilled salmon with peach chutney on a bed of jasmine rice and spinach. Just the chutney itself was exquisite. Compliments to the chef!!!!! Waiters are on point nice and friendly 10 out of 10 THANKS!!!!!!!!!

Excellent sea food restaurant with a multitude of choices. Service is exceptional.

First time there. Ordered crab with no fillers and asked for very light butter.It was mixed with what had the consistency of mayo. It was more flaky with no lumps. Not great ! The roasted potatoes and mixed veg and carrots were greasy and swimming in butter. Took them home but rinsed off the butter. Long wait for meal. We drank our first beer waiting. No bread served either. Not coming back,

Absolutely delicious food. Outstanding service. Was in the area on business and found this hidden gem of a restaurant by chance. Will definitely recommend to anyone traveling to the area. Highly suggest reservations but the bar also has full service

Our food was awesome! The seafood is super fresh and well prepared. My husband got a create-your-own tower and I got the seafood fest. It was a ton of food and the price was much less than other seafood places we have gone that gave you less. I also had a mimosa flight which was great!

The ambiance was very nice with added subtle, upscale touches. Staff was knowledgeable and worked VERY fast. Clean bathrooms and overall very sanitary. The seafood was EXTREMELY fresh and PERFECTLY cooked. I still don't understand how they managed to wrap a perfectly juicy scallop in crispy bacon! Everything was nicely seasoned and the specials were great, they should stay on the regular menu. Loads to choose from and all skillfully prepared. Plates are small and it's overpriced but it suits the vibe they're going for. If you're in the mood for seafood or a great steak, definitely go. You won't regret it! Just know you're going to pay and the clientele is very geriatric. Drink were great too. I'll definitely be going again.

Everything was pretty decent. Crab legs were a little overcooked, stuck to the inside of the shells and the side of scallops came out cold. Service was excellent as was the atmosphere.
