    The food was excellent, besides the polenta side dish. The food came out timely and well-prepared. The cod was the star dish of the night! Service was great and the ambiance was perfect.

    My husband and I book this restaurant for a special date night following a candlelight concert at the Biltmore. It was the worst service we have ever experienced. We did not see our server for at least 15 minutes after being seated. Our entrées did not come out together, but about 20 minutes apart. And then we never saw our waiter again. I normally do not post but just do not want anyone else to have to endure this terrible experience

    Excellent dining experience. Wide variety of outstanding seafood available including fresh oysters and fresh bread enhance the attractiveness of this restaurant. It’s my go to seafood venue with fair prices.
