This is one of the best dining experiences I have ever had, if not the best. The food speaks for itself and when the staff recommends something, listen.

Was such a wonderful night. The restaurant was full but not so loud that you could not enjoy the conversation with your group. The food was outstanding. We could not stop talking about how cool it was that all of the ingredients came from the mid-Atlantic part of the USA. Service was wonderful. Cannot wait to go back again!

I had the black cod and it was absolutely amazing 👍 buttery and flavorful, excellent! My daughter had the steak and fries and enjoyed them but she said they were very salty. The oysters we had were small but fresh and delicious. That said, I didn't like being told to go online to see the menu. Can't give each of us a printed menu?
