    Dinner for 2. Visited on a Saturday night in early March, had an 8 pm reservation. 18th and 21st is lovely and I would definitely come again for the drinks, jazz music, and ambiance. Had the scallops, red snapper, caesar salad, and mushroom soup. The food is ok, I’d rate it a 6 out of 10, although I had soft crab sliders which were so wonderful that I would rate 8 out of 10. I also had two delicious pear mojitos. Our server Abel was absolutely awesome. The band and music were perfect, and despite it being a place that offers live music, it never gets so loud that you can’t hold a conversation. I would definitely go again.

    This is a lovely restaurant with good service and very good food. We had the mussels, which we excellent, and a very fresh Bibb salad. The blueberry cobbler was good, but more like a blueberry bread pudding. The wine list was impressive. Very clean.

    We really like your restaurant. However you advertise being a seafood restaurant and the number of actual fish options are very limited. The fish we had was excellent but we would love a bigger variety.
