    Very good food and service at this restaurant. We all had seafood or shell fish dishes and everyone enjoyed what they had. We started with shrimp bites and blue crab dip. People ordered crab cakes, fried oysters, seafood pasta, artichoke char, tuna salad and another main dish. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. Service was very good and attentive

    Great happy hour! Noise level in the side room (with regular height tables) is very comfortable for conversation. Loved the oysters, shrimp poppers, tuna tacos, mussels, drinks and more!

    The waiter was on top of everything. He was good. We were a party of 12 and he had problems handling us.

    Brought me wrong cocktail, didn't have a specific liquor in stock to make correct cocktail. Scallops undercooked and sent back. Food VERY salty. Main restaurant is very bright and loud. Glad to be a small side room. This was one of my favorite go-to restaurants, but not anymore.
