These guys are the best in the business. Don’t overthink it. Something on the menu for everyone and the service is top notch. Dan and the team went above and beyond for my birthday. The crab legs were to die for.

Food was mediocre.Service was okay-nothing spectacular. Very expensive for what you are getting. We realized when we returned home, our beet salad had no beets. I was also informed we had to finish our meal in 1.45 hours since we were 15 minutes late. Never had that happen before. Most likely will not be returning any time soon.
