    You can’t beat the ambience or the service at this restaurant. The food was good but not amazing. I had Oxtail Soup that was mediocre at best. The flash fried oyster salad- the oysters were fabulous but the accompanying salad was not special. Dessert was raspberry white cake that was great!

    Managers changed menu prices mid meal. Posted menu outside wasn’t changed after they claim a $7 miss print on an appetizer. They stole from me once and they’ll never get me again.
