    This is a good restaurant, if not a great one. I wish the menu was more extensive. Even just a few more options would make this go from good to great.

    Great service, excellent food. Appreciate the effort to take care of customers when seating was running a bit behind reservations.

    We sat down right at the reservation time. Our waiter was prompt and was well spoken. He went over the menu with us because neither of us in my party had been there before. The entire atmosphere was amazing. We were celebrating a birthday and this place was great! I will be back! Shout out to our waiter -Demetrius!! A handsome, attentive and thoughtful young man!

    Slow!! Maybe we caught them on an off day, but the time between ordering and receiving food was ridiculously long. This is made worse by the gaps between the food being delivered. Food was fine, but not the quality level it should be for the price.

    They were out of every single thing on the menu including vegetables and wine. I went to a seafood restaurant and had fried wings and french fries. All the people around us had the exact same experience. It was ridiculous. They really should’ve closed.

    The food was excellent, flavors popped. Service was really not great. Had to ask to have our appetizer plate to be removed. Had to ask for our bill at the end. No dessert or coffee offerings. The server was wonderful and apologetic for the mishaps. Management was sorely lacking here.

    We had 6:00pm reservations. We were seated right away. We were told that the seafood boil was already sold out for the night and the Chilean sea bass was substituted with mahi mahi. Disappointing. The wait staff was friendly and seemed to be trying their best but our entrees took a long time to come after the appetizers and then two of the four meals came out with the third and fourth meal being delivered order the course of the next 15 minutes. Most of the food was served below proper temperature. I will say the flavors were good on the dishes we ordered. Also, it is a pretty restaurant.
