    The meal was quite good. The service was average. My main complaint was that the noise level was off the chart.

    Service was excellent. Drinks were good but nothing amazing. Food was fine. Cost compared to taste wasnt on par with other fine dining restaurants. Bit too expensive in my opinion. Order - started with the cold seafood appetizer-my wife had to spit out an oyster bc it was bad. Two jumbo shrimps. The tuna was great. The roll was fine. The cocktail sauce was ketchup i think - not true cocktail sauce. Had the hamburger - its a small patty. Decent taste. Fries were great. Wife had the lobster linguine. Lobster was a bit overcooked. The mussels were good but one was off tasting. The linguine was really good.

    I get it, it was Mother’s Day but too long wait, waitress promised to find a spot inside and could see there were empty seats, when I asked she said it was reserved, which I doubt. The food is okay, but overpriced, limited choice for a brunch. Don’t think I’ll go there again.

    Fabulous evening out. The seafood tower was delish but the cocktails were the best. The server was wonderful. Thanks!
