Staff was absolutely fantastic!! Two of our party were running late. They sat without them. Allowed us to Oder for them and were extremely accommodating! We were there celebrating my mom’s 80th birthday and they couldn’t have been more kind to us. Food was delicious as well. I’ve loved this restaurant for as long as I can remember. They still do not disappoint!

Maybe because it was Juneteenth, the restaurant - usually an oasis at lunch - was absolutely jam-packed and the noise level inside was deafening. I think the crowds made everything a bit off - service, food, etc. I will definitely be back (I live in the neighborhood and know that it's not always like it was on Thursday) but I was sorry that my friend from out of town didn't enjoy it more.

This is a local favorite but also highly rated in the city so it is always crowded and noisy. The food is great.

This dinner felt rushed, which you don't want when spending over $300 for a friend's birthday meal. Didn't like being told after a bottle of wine came to table that we had to order mains same time as appetizers. We protested. Felt we were there to please restaurant as opposed to vice versa. Also, part of lobster roll had gristle. Last bite so I didn't send it back.
