    Love the grilled oysters as usual. Enjoyed sushi rolls. Don’t appreciate the automatic 20% service charge for a party of two.

    My hubby and I went there for restaurant week. The New England clam chowder was great! The filet mignon was good and very tender! The crab legs could have been better. The lighting was low which is my type of atmosphere. It was very cozy and clean. Windows are all around so my husband was a little chilly because he sat on the side of the window. Overall everything was good.
