    Our server, Nancy was fantastic. We requested a table by the window which the host was able to seat. The food was excellent.

    Excellent experience from the moment my partner and I walked in. Friendly greeting, taken right to our table and received excellent service. We shared crab cakes, ordered the tuna and swordfish entrees and had the key lime pie for dessert. Great food for great value at what is clearly a premiere restaurant.

    Robert, our waiter, was outstanding. We dined on graduation weekend and the resturant was extremely crowded but ran without a hitch. Food was great. Definitely we will revisit.

    We had the Alaskan King Crab, very expensive but worth every single penny! So well done. The scallops wrapped in bacon and pork belly starters were phenomenal. Each of us loved our entrees. From lobster tortelloni to a 2lb baked stuff lobster. Dessert was fantastic as well! The service was impeccable. We brought our 9 month old son, luckily he is an absolute delight, but everyone was so great with him and accommodating. The ambiance was spectacular and even with a full restaurant, it never felt too loud. Just overall, a wonderful experience celebrating my husband's graduation. We couldn't have picked a better restaurant for this occasion. Absolutely top notch!
