The standout was the good. My husband’s lamb lollipops were excellent. I had the crab corn chowder and that was delicious as well. He loved his salmon oscar and I thoroughly enjoyed my shrimp stuffed with crabmeat. Service, ambience and noise level were all great. This is a great pre-theatre restaurant.

We came here on Valentine’s Day so had a special menu. The food was excellent. Lots of good choices. Byob so that’s a plus. However very small place with close tables. Although, still a nice ambience. I will be back to taste the food on the regular menu.
