    Celebrated my bestie birthday for the first time here. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a smile. Most of the dishes were delish. I was not a fan of the seafood pasta and the key lime martini was a bit small for the price. Otherwise, it was an overall great experience.

    I've learned that they have been in business for many years. The front side of the restaurant is a bar. Service was good. Foods we ordered (baked oyster and salmon) were ok. It is close to the convention center (walking distance) and good for a quite casual dinner. Let's support local restaurants.

    Great service, all the food tasted great. It was just pricier than we’re used to. Visiting from a town of over 200,000 to now over a million so I’m sure just some sticker shock.

    It was our first time there and we were celebrating my birthday. Even though I put it on the reservation my birthday wasn’t mentioned. We weren’t given any recommendations at all. I had to ask for suggestions. I’m not sure if the server was new but she wasn’t helpful. The food was good and flavorful. I especially enjoyed the sushi. The seating was open as well the curtains which gave it a weird vibe. Not sure if I would go back.

    A winner in the South loop! Combination seafood place & sushi but in a steakhouse format ( all sides are separate). Every dish was prepared perfectly with lots of flavors. Only complaint is the drinks..none were prepared well..stick to simple martinis or wine.

    The food was out of this world. I had the Seafood Pasta and mom had the grilled prawns. We each started with 6 oysters (Delaware Bay for me and Acadian Pearls for mom). We also shared a side of spinach. One of the best meals I've had in a while. A little pricy, but excellent!

    On the night we had dinner, the restaurant was empty. We enjoyed great service and good food.
