Had a great time celebrating our girlfriend getting her PHD today! We had great service. Food looked appealing. We had the Maui (5), Crab Cakes (very small but good), Shrimp n Scallops (4), & the Ribs. The Ribs was super tender but I hated their BBQ sauce. I also deducted a point because their brownies was NOT heated up! Who does that? I'm sure they would've accommodated if asked but my dessert was already waiting on me so....The bartender made us drinks that was not in the menu which we greatly appreciated! They was good. Overall great experience, good value for the money. I will definitely eat there again.
Great experience all around. Absolutely no complaints. Service was great from Matthew B. My pasta (Shrimp and crab in a Oregano cream sauce)was one of the most Magical dishes I have ever had. Pasta was cooked perfectly, sauce was delicious, pretty light for a cream sauce and not too overwhelming. perfection! The salmon was perfectly seared... everything was good. Restaurant was also very cozy and intimate.
The food was even better than I expected. Great oysters. Spectacular chowder. Absolutely loved the Brussel Sprouts. In fact, I had to ask the chef to tell me how he makes them! You gotta try those. The scallop appetizer was perfectly cooked with a sauce that was so good, we had to use it on everything else. And ... the prices were reasonable. Great value for such a special meal. Plus, the service was top notch. Can't wait for the next opportunity to visit here again !
