Waitress did not write down order and made mistakes, spoke over us when we were placing orders and asking questions. Had to come back to table to loudly project that the item was Cajun when we stated that it was very spicy. Forgot some items we ordered. Table was in corner when the sun set we were in the dark and could not read the check. Waitress ran my credit card for someone else’s order and gave me a void receipt and did not appropriately apologize

First time there. They were a little busy so I could understand the longer wait for the drinks. No bread was offered not sure if they do that. Lobster tail add on was forgotton about. Was giving a dry old piece of red velvet cake to make up for it. Sadly will not be back but still tipped as anyone should the 20%.

Food not great maybe average. Service was good. But the tip of 20%was automatically added which I feel is wrong. There was only 2 of us. I’m always a good tipper even if the service wasn’t great and I’ve tipped Well above 20% in the past, but I didn’t appreciate that decision being taken from me. We had been looking forward to trying this restaurant and unfortunately we won’t be back.

Amazing food! We were a party of 7. We ordered signature alcohol, each person had appetizers and entrees. Some of us got steak and lobster. Our bill was less than $400. We thought it would be much more! Very reasonably priced. This will be our new Christmas Eve tradition.

Waitress deserted us after we waited for 10 minutes to flag one down. Food was horribly overcooked, especially the lobster. We constantly had to flag down help for drinks, food and other requests. I wouldn't ever go back, even if it was free!
