Great food, service, and atmosphere. Dinner was like a taste of home (from the panhandle of Florida). We had the crab cake, grouper, and snapper. We’ll definitely come again!

We had a fabulous experience! We were celebrating graduation and the restaurant staff surprised us with a private room as well as deserts on the house for the graduates. The food and drinks were delicious and our server was the sweetest! Can’t wait to be back.

The noise level was horrific! Prices were too high for the type of restaurant and food. Food was good but we've had as good or better food for less cost at other places.

Some of this is personal, but did not like the steak rub – Rosemary was very strong. Bread was not very good at all, not fresh. She-crab soup and calamari were kinda OK, not great. Food was quite slow to come out. Service was excellent.

Rachael - thank you for your review. We feel badly that you didn't have a service experience that was up to our typical standards. I hope that us taking the drinks, wine, side dishes as well as your appetizers off the bill that night demonstrates how seriously we took your comments and is enough to encourage you to give us another try.

I was expecting to really love this restaurant but was somewhat disappointed. Two of us shared a Caesar salad, which was very average. The croutons were nothing special, no anchovies, dressing was OK and the portion was quite small. I ordered the salmon, which was delicious, however the brussel sprouts were bitter and almost completely raw and the other side had a sour flavor. The other person got a ribeye steak, which was good but not amazing. For dessert we had creme brulee which was good but could have used more of a vanilla taste. I won't be returning but I wouldn't say it is bad, just very average.

Thank you for your review Hilton. I am sorry to hear that we didn't deliver on your salmon dish and that you didn't care for our caesar salad. We do have anchovies available by request but have found that most of our guests prefer them in the dressing, and not whole on their plate. We will take this feedback along with your opinion on the creme brulee and try to improve. I do hope you will reconsider returning for another visit.
