    The menu gets smaller every time I go and the entrees are less and less appealing. Our reservations were for 6:30, not seated until 7 and by 9pm they had turned the music and the HEAT OFF. Yes you read that correctly. There was an obvious push to get us out of the building at 9pm on a Thursday. This place has become very cocky - open a few hours a day and the food has become very unimpressive. Won’t be rushing back anytime soon.

    Very lively and entertaining dining visit. Good to see restaurants full again. We were seated promptly and our waitress met us quickly. We were served drinks and our order taken all in short order. The food served was correct and served at proper temperatures. Food quality was exceptional and the four of us were well pleased with the taste and seasoning of our food. We are from Florida making a quick trip through Manchester and just cannot think of a reason why we would not stop here again on a subsequent visit.

    Service was fantastic, waiter Jalen was super attentive, knowledgable, and personable. Food and drinks were amazing, red sangria always delicious, oysters super clean, briney, scrumptious, roasted garlic app yummy! Caesar salad with Nashville Hot Chicken to die for! Dressing made perfectly, just enough and the chicken, haven’t had better. It’s cooked to perfection, juicy and just the right amount of heat!! Ended with the cookie al la mode…exceptional end to an exceptional experience!!
