    Prior to our reservation, we waited at the bar adjacent to the restaurant. The bartender was rude and had an attitude - he didn’t want to even acknowledge or wait on us, as he was engrossed in a conversation with the only other 2 guests at the bar. $50 for 2 drinks, with a poor first impression. Our service in the restaurant was fantastic and the food as well! We always make sure we dine at A&B every visit!!

    The service was fantastic. We sat on the patio overlooking the marina, which was nice for watching the boats come and go. My husband had the lobster tail, and it was huge, and he loved it. I had the grouper Oscar. Either they are ashamed of the fish or really proud of their hollandaise sauce, because mine was drowning in sauce. It was all stacked up in a pile with potatoes, fish, asparagus, crab, & a whole lot of sauce. I was disappointed that I couldn’t taste any of the individual ingredients because they were all mixed together. That said, I’d go back, but I’d order something different.

    our waiter brought the wrong salads, said he would take them off the bill after we said we would keep them, but did not. i requested melted butter instead of drawn butter to enhance my enjoyment of the $120 lobster, but he had to be reminded and when it was delivered both butter and lobster were cold. disappointing at this price range but 🤷‍♀️ but well situated place and would have been fine if our server hadn’t been a space cadet.

    Our server for dinner was absolutely wonderful. Two of the three bartenders we encountered at berlins before our meal were not friendly at all. Tired of tourists? I get it but what a let down in such a cool space. However, can’t say enough good things about the restaurant side. The oysters Rockefeller, the filet, the grouper Oscar and profiteroles were delicious. Thanks to our server for saving the day!
