    I've been here a few times previously and this visit was with friends on 12/28. The ambiance and wait staff were on point. A complementary meatball with sauce was delicious but the Louie Salad and Scallop entrée were just okay for me. Based on my previous experiences here, I still recommend the restaurant.

    It became obvious Desi was no longer affiliated with this restaurant when we bit into the crabcakes. What used to be the best crabcakes in town are now forgettable and breading-filled. The sauces seemed off too. Service was still great, as was my steak. Of note, you cannot use gift certificates purchased at the original CBD location despite the shared name, something they don't tell you and which doesn't appear anywhere on the digital gift certificate.

    They seated us right outside the kitchen and in clear view of the wait staff shoveling waste into the trash cans. Service was extremely slow. Food was good though

    Overall fantastic evening. Waiter Matthew was excellent. I feel he went above and beyond. The restaurant Manager really took care of everything. Came to the table a few times and thanked us for being there. 10 out of 10 evening. Will be back for sure. AAAAAA+++++
