Unfortunately "updated" included dirty floors, walls, ceiling, and run down furniture. We were met by two messily dressed teenagers and seated. The light fixtures were blinking, cheap wayfair led fixtures, and they had to turn off half the lights. Server was polite but not super attentive. We started with a Caesar salad and the lobster bisque. Caesar was close to salad kit quality. Lobster bisque was so salty it was inedible. We didn't finish either dish, made an excuse to the server, got our check and left. I'm not sure we've ever been so turned off to not even finish our meal, just seems very poorly run. Wouldn't recommend or return.
