    Food is really good but please get rid of the annoying techno music. All you can hear is this relentless bass beat

    I reserved a table 2 weeks in advance and requested a quiet Booth. When we arrived we were given a high top table in the bar area very near the front door- this is unacceptable.

    As always everything was excellent. Had the BLACKENED MAHI-MAHI and Fried Oysters for the first time and I highly recommend both. The service was great! Will be trying brunch next.

    It was our first time. I ordered the lobster scampi with linguine. The sauce and linguine were delicious, but the lobster was dry. My companion ordered the mahi mahi and it was overcooked. Alas, we will not be returning.

    Food and service were both excellent. Our appetizer arrived moments after we placed the order, but our server did a great job of not rushing us and spacing out the appetizer and entrees. Look forward to returning and trying more dishes!
