"The food was okay but not really special. My dish was not heated properly. However, the service was outstanding, from knowledge of a too big wine list to dealing with my complaints about the entree.
I would go back but will keep to the simple items on the menu."

"First impression not a good one. Too noisy and food was only OK; bread was burned on bottom, salad was dry (missing dressing) and salmon portion small with an awful garlic mushroom topping; so garlicy that it was not possible to eat. In terms of ambience it was so noisy that I could hardly hear by dinner companion. DC Coast is a better option."

"Good food, service and atmosphere. But turn down the noise. I like a vibrant ambiance, but when you can't even hear your sever speak is bad. The music is so loud that forces the patrons to raise their voices to hear each other. Then things just escalate. Turn the music volume down."

"Our table had the the nightly special (scallops), ribeye steak, and the duck. Everyone more than enjoyed their dishes. Best of all were the fried oysters (app). They were very tasty with a great mayo based orange sauce. The service was good and drinks strong. I would recommend this place."
