    Went for lunch, and I must say that I would like to come back once the weather breaks to dine outside. The harbor views are amazing and the service was great. Food was um okay I guess.

    Had such a great time! First time being there! My sister and I (+my baby niece) went for the first time today and it was amazing! Joey, the manager, was so sweet and welcoming. I am thinking about doing an event and will definitely be reaching out!!

    Felt it was very over priced for what we got. Service was good. Were the only table in the restaurant the entire time. Would try again in the summer.

    A group of 3 went to dinner to celebrate a birthday. The Winter Wonderland decor was the reason why we chose this restaurant. It was absolutely stunning! We started with the crab pretzel for an appetizer, and it was wonderful. We also had 2 dozen of oysters that were amazing and several rounds of manhattans. For dinner, we ordered crab cakes that we did not enjoy. We should have had a few more rounds of oysters :) Would go again, but recommend sticking to the appetizer menu.
