    We had a reservation at 9:15 pm and arrived just a few minutes before. We only waited for about 3 minutes before being called for seating. The server was polite and attentive. The choice of Mascato was excellent. I had to get a second glass. The meal was 🔥 and delicious. We had the lobster bisque for appetizer. He would have prefered clam chowder but that wasnt available. The bisque was good not great. For main course we had lobster tail with scallops. We both would have liked the seasoning on the lobster to be a little more done. The scallops were perfect. They melted in my mouth. Portion size was great. We did not attend dessert as we were both stuffed. We were able to sit for about 20 minutes pass dinner to ket the food settle. Overall the food was delicious and would return if ever in that area celebrating special occasion. Thanks for the hospitality

    Exquisite service, warm and friendly, and impeccable quality from the moment of our arrival and throughout our entire special evening. George always has our special booth ready for us and welcomes us back again. Reconnecting with our favorite and best servers Curtis, Jay and Tim made our dinner and the ambiance perfect. Finally, the Valet gentleman is one of the hardest workers you’ll meet and the nice lady who takes care of our coats is a gem and a very beautiful soul.

    The seating that was given to sit was very uncomfortable no leg room very small seating no place to put your jacket. you have to hold it on your lap well you try to eat .maybe if I had a different table would’ve been a different experience thinking using this app would give you a better seating arrangement but that’s not the case probably better just walking in last min
