Dined on March 13th to celebrate a birthday. We were warmly welcomed and exceptionally taken care of by the staff. Ordered oysters, burnt ends and the delicious seafood boil -had 2 orders of the boil, which was enough for three to feel completely satisfied. Will return, highly recommend a whisky flight as well. Thank you for a lovely evening!

It went for my husband’s birthday and it was lovely. The service was great - Nick was available and checked in. The food was fantastic - we had the pork belly bao buns, jerk chicken and the braised ribs! Then we had the apple crisp. They have a great drink menu, especially whiskey. As I was the designated driver, I couldn’t try any of it but definitely want to come back and try some whiskey drinks. The price is reasonable and definitely great value for the great food they make. Highly recommend.

Reservation for 7:15. Seated at 7:25. Was told we had until 8:45. Got our meal at 8:44. Waitress never checked on us. Price high for what you get. Half our food was cold. Won’t be going back.

The first point is all of the beef brisket was not hot enough. Seems to be the residual from the last night. The first round’s beef brisket was not weighed enough for half of the pound. Why do I know that? After the first round, we ordered a second round of beef brisket, which was the same amount of meat we ordered for the first round, and we found a huge difference in weight( about 2 times) between these two rounds of meat. Disappointted. Although in the end, the waitress corrected the amount, I am still disappointed things like that happened.
