    Sophia did a great job taking care of us and the food was well prepared. We ordered brunch and the eggs were well cooked - poached, nice and yellow runny - perfect and the scrambled eggs were nicely cooked. My only negative was the back ground music - much TOO LOUD. We were the only folks in our section for a while and it just about blew us out. Sophia did lower it a bit when I asked. It is supposed to be background and not to promote your heart beat. Overall, it was a good experience.

    The food was good for the price. The service was also good. We had a very rowdy group at the table behind ours, which negatively impacted the atmosphere.

    Fabulous dinner of jumbo shrimp with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Shrimp dipped in clarified butter tasted like lobster. Couldn’t have been happier with everything! Service was spot on!

    For someone who doesn’t like seafood but her boyfriend does, even though there was some limited non seafood items, I’d definitely come back again! That pasta was goodddd and my boyfriend loved the crabcakes! Just wished it was bigger he said. lol. Had a wonderful valentine day experience.
