My wife and I have been here twice, and we were impressed with the food and atmosphere. This is a wonderful place to go for a special occasion or if you want quality seafood. I recommend getting the crab dip and lobster tail, as they are phenomenal. Save room for dessert, as you will not be disappointed.
My annual birthday hangout, 5 stars every time. Tonight was the busiest we have seen it and Rachel was our waitress. She was absolutely amazing!!!!! The food was the best ever—it’s always good—but tonight was something special. My fiance got the ribs and crab legs and said they were falling off the bone and melting in his mouth. I also got crab legs and can vouch that they were so fresh. If I could add stars, I would!!! Thank you so much, Rachel, for the amazing service and fun Prosecco with strawberries (Pretty Woman reference that made my entire day complete!!) Can’t wait to come back!
I went for a birthday dinner. There was 19 of us and 1 waitress and the service was FLAWLESS. We didn't have any issues. The food came out on time and the orders were correct. The food and drinks were on point. 👍🏾👍🏾
We had reservations for our 20th wedding anniversary as a special night out. When we arrived we were informed our table was not available but we could sit outside. That was a bit dissatpointing but we made it work as it was a beautiful evening. The she-crab soup was outstanding. The mussels were so-so but several were not opened which means don't eat them! The main entries were very good. The steak and crab were delicious as was the Angus burger. The main disappointment was with the service. While everyone was friendly, the actual attentiveness was lacking. There were 15 minute windows with no beverages, and at the end, after waiting over 20 minutes to request a box and the check I went inside to request our check and a box. By this point we were the only guests left outside and after another few minutes instead of immediately assisting us, our server cleaned the table so I had to wait for that before they fulfilled our request. Again, not unfriendly, but for over $150 for 3 people, underwhelming service. It may have been an off night. I would try again because of the food quality, but not sure I would trust the reservation system again due to the failure (and thankfully recovery) of it. I really hate to be critical but hope the critiques I point out may be considered so other customers have a better overall experience.
