    Known for seafood I ordered the surf and turf. The steak was perfectly cooked and deliciously flavored! Husband loved the fried crab cake.

    We only ordered apps and soup which were good. Volume of the band pretty loud, but appreciated the entertainment. Our server was ok, but to be fair they were busy. Will definitely go again…it’s a good casual, local spot.

    Hostess seemed surprised we had a reservation on a Saturday night. Sat us at the table that’s literally not even 2 feet from the bathroom. Server was way too busy to be attentive, no blame on her. Food was good overall, but the asparagus and potatoes were ice cold by the time they came out, which was almost an hour after we placed the order. Crab legs were good. Drinks were good. The guy running all the food was hurrying and doing his best, I suppose they just seemed understaffed.

    We had a great meal. Stopped in for Prime Rib night for the first time and we were not disappointed. Service was terrific, and we enjoyed the solo guitar player (AJ Love).

    Can not understand why you could not take the leftover crabs home with you?? It was not like a buffet where you take too much food, the crabs were brought to us and when we could not finish them we could not take them home??? What a complete waste and the spinach salad was awful and then they add a 20% tip to the total and stupid me did not see that and gave her another 22% so she got a $53 tip on a $120 meal I will never go back!

    Wife and I go there frequently. I usually hit the all you can eat crabs, but got the ribeye on the specials menu. Was amazing. Oysters always outstanding.
