    Food was ok but nothing special, we had the oysters that had a lot of broken shell inside, the clams which were all breadcrumbs and not much else. The steak and lobster were ok, not a great piece of meat, but cooked ok. My pasta was decent, but again nothing special especially for the price. For 20 minutes there was a sewer odor outside, not sure what happened there. It was a nice place, but quite disappointed in the food quality.

    The waiter was very informative and attentive. He told me and my date the specials of the day. The French onion soup and Calamari were very Delicious appetizers. The Rosemary lamb chops were cooked to perfection and the lemon chicken was very juicy and flavorful.The Chardonnay was refreshing to wash it down.

    I got very sick from what I assume was the calamari because it was the only thing I ate different than my friend dining with me. The service was absolutely atrocious and the waiter completely ignored us until my friend got up physically to get the manager after he went to check on everyone’s table but ours. The manager tried to do the right thing by comping our drinks but couple the poor service with being ill all night from the food… I would not go back! The band also started late and ended early and the whole reason we went was for the live jazz.

    Our apps were good and dinner too. I would say that they need to do a better job cleaning the Branzino as there were to many bones, and my prawns were definitely overcooked. For the price, they should have been cooked to perfection!
