    As an appetizer I liked the East Coast oysters platter presented nicely with dry ice and all the accompaniments. Great hot popovers offered with a fresh bread selection. I had the Pub crab-cake and it was the best and freshest in a long time. My wife loved the shredded short ribs with fresh, soft gnocchi.

    Really lovely dinner. Very busy for Sunday night but figuring its Valentines weekend it made sense. That didnt stop the service from being top notch, nor the food. Drinks were great, apps, and mains were delicious

    It's pricey, but you get what you pay for: the food was excellent, the service was great, the staff was very knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was quite nice. They were also able to accommodate my wife's gluten allergy with no issues whatsoever, and that's always a plus.

    This was our valentine dinner. The place was very nice! All the host were wearing nice red dresses, the got me and my husbands coats and sat us at a timely manner. Got a beautiful flower and a great table with a nice view, we got a good waiter that informed us about the menu and showed us some good choices of drinks and food. Appetizers were good! And the main meal was amazing! Had a surf and turf and my husband got a loaded lobster, and a strong lemon drop. Overall the staff was nice cared for our needs and told us goodnight as we were leaving. 10/10
