    Having really good food over comes a few short comings. I asked my server which soup I should order and he told me to get the crab soup. Well the clam chowder I had was pretty darn good, I just didn't say anything. I had the chopped salad which was excellent but before I finished it they brought my entree, and rather than take it back, my server said, oops it's a little early is that ok. Well I said fine and again the prime rib was outstanding. All told my dinner took 45 minutes, I'm just glad All of the food was so delicious.

    The tables and chairs are a bit old. The bathroom was the worse and we dined at the start of the day. The bathroom smells and it’s outdated. The entire place could use renovations. The food was ok. The calamari was over cooked. My shrimp meal came with soup which was pretty good but there weren’t many shrimp on the lunch plate, considering the price. The service was great. Miesha was our server and she was great.

    Why have we never gone there? Blown away by the food. We had Oyster Rockefeller, seafood chowder and grouper for the main course. We split the main dish and it was brought out separately for us. Nice selection of wine. Waitress was superb. We will be back for sure.
