Food was good service was just ok. Server was unfriendly and when asked for a suggestion tried to up sell instead of making a recommendation. Rarely came to the table. We were seated by the door where they allowed people waiting to stand next to our table while we ate. I would make sure you ask for a table in the back.

The oysters were best I’ve had in a while. Very sweet. Our server, Joshua, was attentive, friendly and prompt My flounder was excellent- perfectly seasoned and prepared so there was a crunchy edge. Highly recommend

Went here for restaurant week and it was fantastic! She crab soup and Caesar salad both great, surf and turf great, key lime pie and chocolate tarte great. Excellent service and ambiance. Restaurant week deal was 3 courses for $45, hard to beat that.
