    We went on Christmas Day and it was packed!!! We went up to the hostess station and literally didn’t wait one minute due to making reservations. We were seated immediately! The guy that came around and took pics of our family was so sweet, the waitress was sweet and the chef was good and funny! We enjoyed our experience and will definitely book there again. All around great experience!

    Excellent Christmas Eve tradition! Food and service were stellar! A little crowded with the loud table next to us. Felt like we were in the middle of their conversation. Other than that…PERFECT evening!

    We had an excellent experience on Christmas Eve. The Deviled Crab was the table’s favorite appetizer followed by the Monkey Bread dredged in the crab’s tomato compote. The Flounder special was cooked perfectly and the portion size was enough to prevent Santa from coming down most chimneys. Don’t sleep on the cabbage side, even if you “don’t like cabbage”. It’s definitely a game changer. The dirty martinis are consistently top notch. Credence should be toward the top of every Must Eat Here list.

    I really like the menu. It has a little bit of everything. The ambiance is pretty. But I must say above all the service was excellent! Ask to sit in Kyla’s section. She is so nice so attentive. She smiled the whole time and it was busy when we arrived. She made my experience even better! Thank you!
