    This is our favorite place for a special quiet evening out. Food is always great service excellent and atmosphere pleasant and fun. The staff is outstanding always and helpful. The old fashioned drinks are perfect and dinner specials are a treat. Oysters special this week was awesome. The branzino was perfectly cooked and deboned at the table. Scallops were also excellent. And we followed up with the bread pudding. Also awesome. We highly recommend you give them a try. You won’t regret it.

    Had a great dinner and drinks. The place was very busy but the staff were attentive. Delicious steak and sides. The superfood salad is also fantastic. I also want to give a shout out to Shelby at the bar. She hustled her backside off and was able to smile through it all. Bravo!!!
