    The menu changed drastically! However, the she crab soup was very clumpy. The bun was larger than the crabcake for my sandwich. I will not be back!

    We waited an hour for our food- just sandwiches and salads. My sandwich was barely warm. Disappointing experience as we arrived early for our reservation (5:00)- table wasn't even set up yet. We told our waitress we were going to the ballet at 7:00. She promised us we would get out on time. 6:20 we still didn’t have our meals, drinks were empty- we barely had time to eat 1/2 our meal then had to take the rest to go to get to the show on time.

    Overall the experience for brunch was good but really need to do away with those frozen potatoes out of a package. They didn’t come close to being home fried potatoes.

    Dinner was fabulous! As a table we ordered the she crabby soup and that was delicious. At the table we also had crab cakes, blackened rockfish, and the meatloaf and we didn't leave a drop on our plates!
