    Salmon was grilled to perfection - but consider offering options of grilled, broiled, blackened or lightly seasoned.

    Great time for our group - everyone really enjoyed the experience overall. Service was a little hit and miss as far as attentiveness, but it was a packed house so understandable.

    Myself and my family enjoyed ourselves for the most part. My dinner was suppose to come with asparagus that which I never received. I asked for a glass of wine which I never received but overall no complaints.

    The service was some of the worst. Our server would disappear for 20 minutes and then take our order and we would have to ask someone else for an update on our orders. The restaurant seemed more concerned at time about getting more tables set up. At the end of the day, it shouldn’t take 3 hours to eat at this establishment as I’ve eaten here multiple times.

    Terrific Oysters and Clams! Great drinks and an overall wonderful dinner. The Black Sea Bass special was terrific. Our go-to place for fish.
