    Always a wonderful experience. The food is delicious, with the most amazing oysters I’ve been able to find in the area. You will not be disappointed!

    Service was slow and there were not so many people so it is unclear why. Plus were not offered the special on Wed/Thurs/Fri…asked twice about that. Food was generous but mixed - shrimp with honey & garlic was too salty and too much sauce.

    Last night's wine dinner had great food. The reason I don't always go is because of the menu selections for the wine dinners. Last night's was very good but the filet mignon was a little overcooked. The waitresses were extremely friendly, helpful and efficient.

    Food was very good. Was there for about 2 hours, waited for 30 min before getting a drink. Again, food was delicious— just don’t be in a hurry.

    Service was slow and staff seemed stressed. Waited over an hour for food and waitress told us it was because the kitchen had so many take-out orders! One we were served, the food was excellent and good-sized portions on both entrees.
