    Excellent fish and chips, with generous portions. A grilled salmon club sandwich on a brioche roll was delicious, with the salmon cooked exactly as I ordered - medium rare. Service was prompt and friendly. This is the second time we have visited and we will be going back again.

    Our male waiters were excellent. The waitress was unhelpful and arrogant. All she did was puah us to drink more liquor. The noise level was slightly improved after we moved to another table, but was still too loud for a pleasant evening. I had requested a quiet table when I made the reservation, but no one paid any attention to this request. The food was excellent, but the loud noise plus the unfriendly waitress ruined the ambiance for me. Suggest you install some noise reducing room dividers. It's annoying to have to yell at your dining companions to be heard!

    Very good oysters, little neck clams and jambalaya. Good service and quiet. At happy hour, oysters are 1$ a piece.

    The food is good, but the shortage of staff made for an uncomfortable dinner. Despite the lack of other waiters/waitresses, our waitress was very pleasant and I felt very sorry for her because she had so many tables to handle.

    The service was very slow, and our waitress rarely checked on us—we had to rely on other staff for things we needed. We wanted to order dessert but didn’t want to risk having to wait extensively. We requested extra lemons and old bay but ended up waiting so long that we decided to do without. We came for the throwback happy hour, as we usually go to the M St location, where the service is faster and much better. I do like the location and ambiance here, though!
