Our sever Liam was amazing. We had theatre tickets so he timed everything perfectly. For three people we had the octopus and shrimp appetizers which were both fantastic. Dinner was monk fish for me which was excellent. My sister had a special of the night a fish stew and my brother in law went for the rib eye. Everyone was happy with their selections. I rarely do dessert but we shared their “egg” dessert. It was really really yummy. Five stars to this place. Think it’s more for special occasions unless you make a lot more money than I do, but no regrets.

It was an exceptional meal we did the 7 course tasting. The only thing was they brought it way too fast! When we asked to slow down it was a lot better but we got 3 courses out of 7 ln less than 15 minutes. We will definitely be back

Wonderful dining experience. Sat at the bar. We started with cocktails, however keep in mind that they do not serve 'hard' liquor so if you have a hankering for a vodka martini, forget about it. We very much enjoyed the freshly shucked oysters that were ice cold and very sweet. Our entrees were perfect as well as the side of Maple Glazed Acorn Squash. Service was excellent. Kudos to our server Leo at the bar!
