    It was mine and my friends first time here and all I can say is that we will be back! Our server Sean was wonderful and knowledgeable! The food was delicious and top notch! We ordered oysters as an appetizer and they were phenomenal. I loved the fact that we could enjoy our appetizer without the feeling that our entrees were coming soon after. Then we both had the short rib as our entree, and that was was so delicious! I would so recommend eating here! You won’t be disappointed!
