    Good food in a historical place. Fear price. The wine list should be better - more options and better price

    Overall, we had a great experience. However, we dined at 5:30 and we understood that there were several happy hour specials going on. When we reviewed our check and inquired as to why the discounted prices were not applied to beer and oysters, the server stated that those specials only applied to the bar, and not to the restaurant. We assumed it was for the restaurant as well. Just left a bad feeling for us after a good meal.

    Our server was great; the food was delicious. While I know there were just two of us, the hostess sat us at the tiniest table. I had to ask another server to move our table so I could sit down, there was a man sitting at the table next to ours and while I am thin, I couldn't fit in the space between the table and the other guest's chair. It was a lot louder than I thought it would be given the ambiance of the place. But again, food was delicious, and our server was great. It's a great spot for lunch.
