    Austin was absolutely amazing! He recommended a great mocktail for me and the food was superb. I could have a bucket of the house made remoulade that came with the crab cakes!

    Busy evening at the restaurant with a lot of rowdy CMA visitors. The restaurant was loud as a result. We sat in a booth with a very high top table; it was difficult to reach our plates (I’m 6’1”) no other seating options were available. I ordered the rack of lamb, medium rare, it was cooked well. lobster bisque was excellent. Probably won’t return.

    The noise level was much too loud. We could hardly hear what each one was saying. Other than that, food and service was excellent.
