We were seated soon after we arrived at a booth. Servers were friendly polite and helpful. We ordered Filet and bone-in Filet, grilled tomatoes, crab cakes, and broccolini. Everything was excellent. The bone-in Filet was super flavorful- worth the extra $12. We finished off our dinner with banana cream pie and it was just as we had hoped -fresh, creamy, not too sweet. And the best part, you can come in jeans and shirt. Will go back if we get another chance.

The oysters were fresh, cold and excellent. I had the scallop entree which I gladly would have again. But, there were many other tempting items on the menu I will return and try.
