Terrible night because the game was on, that couldn’t be helped but the waitress we had was so rude. When I decided on the lobster but had questions she basically said the lobster I am choosing is off the trawler and frozen and got snappy/ well that was off putting, She wasn’t happy and said she will come back for our order, the disappointments just kept going. $70 steak was average and the $95 lobster was chewy. $215 for a very terrible experience unfortunately- not the same experience we had many years ago, so disappointing we wasted our time and money
