“Shannon is amazing!!!!!!! This place is amazing and has good food and drink”

“The restaurant was very nice inside. The service was slow but it was a busy night. I thought food was worth the wait. My husband got the bone in ribeye cooked perfectly. I got the clam chowder and sea scallops. The chowder was ok standard. The sea scallops were good. We got the Alaskan oysters - the red wine vinegar was mild in flavor. I liked the cocktail sauce and horseradish. Our friends got the Big Tuna and the Salmon with mint and basil. It was pricey but very delicious and good service.”

“Awesome flavors as usual! Butterfly cocktail was refreshing!!”

“Delicious sea bass and Server kept water filled, cozy dinning spot”

“The establishment provided an exceptional experience, characterized by an outstanding ambiance, delectable cuisine, and exemplary customer service. The calamari, in particular, was among the finest I have encountered.”

“Shannon Was Amazing, She Held Conversations Well Helped Us Pick The Top Meals And Gave Such An Amazing Atmosphere 🫶🏼🩷”
