    We ate in the small room on a Thursday night before the summer rush, so it was very quiet with just a few other tables. It was as if we were in a private dining room and we loved it! Our waitress was fantastic as was everyone who served us. The four of us were served a focaccia with a roasted garlic in oil that was delicious. We all had the corn and truffle bisque which was out of this world, we’d come back for the soup alone. Two of us had the roast beef, a shrimp and grits and the crab cake. We all loved our meals. The roast beef was a special that is served on Thursdays and we would definitely go back for it. We shared a delicious cheesecake and (2) warm chocolate chip cookies with ice cream that were unbelievably good. It was the perfect end to a perfect meal and we can’t wait to go back.

    The two specials we ordered tasted like leftovers, pre-cooked. Crab cakes were excellent, and Regatoni vodka only order in Italian restaurants. Jelly Donuts excellent

    Perfect place , atmosphere was open and not loud , the service is excellent and the food is outstanding and plenty of. I love that it’s byob and there is no rush in between platings. Very nice place and the price was pretty much reasonable. I will definitely go back and refer my friend and family. One more addition is they offer many Gluten free dishes . Delicious food . Will absolutely be one of top places.

    Very nice restaurant, service was good. Everything was served quickly. No waiting. I felt the food was mediocre for an upscale restaurant. A little too noisy for me. Not much of a dessert menu although the ice cream sundae was delicious. Expected more

    My party of three last Saturday evening included our granddaughter who was a first time visitor. She opted for the Filet Mignon and loved it as we have on previous occasions. This time my wife and I tried two of the specials for the evening namely Shellfish Pappardelle and Salmon Oscar. Both were marvelously prepared. A round of cafe affogato complemented our entrees before we headed to the beachfront for a leisurely walk .

    Appreciate how this restaurant's menu has evolved over the years. The halibut was outstanding, as was the special tri-color salad as a starter (very generous portion). The steak was amazing and served sizzling hot. Too full to try the lovely array of desserts. My only wish and this is a personal request: please have on hand some gluten free bread options (maybe some crispy bread sticks or millet/flax bread to dip in the delicious roast garlic and oil starter that is served with a generous hunk of mouthwatering bread--i unearthed an emergency packet of GF crackers from my purse just so i could taste this! Looking forward to coming back soon and trying more deliciousness--thank you for a spectacular meal!
