    Hadn’t been there in years and it was as good as remembered. They have the absolute BEST snapper soup .. a large bowl for $10. I had stuffed lobster tail and it was delish. Two guests had prime ribs and said excellent. Another had crab cakes and highly recommended! Shared massive piece of cheesecakes with berry sauce. Enough for 4 of us!! Will definitely be back more often

    We have been here before and the food was not as good as previously. Filets were over cooked and lobster tail potion was small. The service was excellent .

    Yesterday we celebrated our 10 year anniversary by dining here. I surprised my husband with one of our appetizers from our wedding. I asked Dottie to have it prepared. Andy was our server. We enjoyed the shrimp and scallops over rice. The only complaint was the scallops were a little chewy. Other than that, it was delicious. We both had crab cakes. I had it with a ginormous baked potato and my husband had it with the Jasmine rice. The carrots were yummy too. Then we completed the meal with a champagne toast and a delicious lava cake. Thanks for always making our anniversary and dining experiences amazing. A huge shout out to Andy and Dottie!!!!

    I am going to go here more often. The lobster tails were amazing and very reasonably priced. The cocktails were made professionally and very good. The veal parm was great and my husband had plenty for lunch the next day. The waiter was exceptional and professional. I really loved the atmosphere also. It was our Anniversary and I could not have chosen a better place to spend it. Thank you for the complimentary champagne and desert!!!!

    Our waitress messed up our order, questioned our choices, and seemed disorganized terested in our experience. Such a shame, because we have normally had great, attentive service. Also each meal seemed too peppery.

    My husband and I haven’t come here in a couple years but it’s been one of our favorite places. I must first commend the excellent waitress and the quiet ambience. However, we were both disappointed with the food, beginning with the bread. It appeared to be stale. The soup was very good but our meals were not. The mashed potatoes appeared to be reheated and were stiff and not creamy. My salmon was just okay but my husband’s steak was sub par and was replaced with a crab cake that had very little crab in it. Maybe this was just an off night? As mentioned, our waitress was wonderful and the manager did his best to make amends. We may try down the road again.
