We went early evening on a Tuesday night so it was not too crowded and the noise level was low. The service was fine and the food was really good. Decent atmosphere, comfortable seating as well. One of the better restaurants in town.

A wonderful experience before departing on a cruise. The waitress was wonderful and always filling up our drinks and checking in on us. The food was great compared to other restaurants around them. Definitely would come back again and choose this restaurant over the surrounding restaurants!

Qs was awesome. What wasn't awesome was the Open Table service. Qs said they do not take reservations nor are they in an agreement with you. Luckily they were able to accommodate my party of 10. Would've been embarrassing to not have that Table ready for a reservation made weeks before.
