    Le service n’est pas au niveau attendu (plus de 10 minutes d’attente pour commander des verres de vin). Les plats sont plutôt fades.

    Service was excellent, her name was Patricia! Oysters and crab cake both delicious. We ordered the rusty pelican board which was absolutely huge - us Europeans don’t eat portions this size. It was crazy. The flavours of these dishes were so overbearing and didn’t work. Coconut and tomato orzo pasta with two flabby fried fish fillets on top - nope. Cheese in a seafood risotto - What?? And then the sauce which accompanied the striploin just tasted of charcoal, it was extremely bitter and ruined a perfectly nice piece of steak. I didn’t even attempt the sweet plantain mash. It was all SO strange. I know it’s an institution but if I was visiting from Europe, I wouldn’t recommend.

    The brunch board for two and lobster grilled cheese were very good. The fried chicken was well seasoned, but not salty. Even though we didn't sit outside, the view was very nice. The servings were well portioned. You do not feel cheated for the money. Even though the restaurant was busy, our server was very attentive.
