                  Our server Dan was wonderful! Food was great, rolls and drinks were also outstanding! Drinks felt a little overpriced and we didn’t like the calamari sauce- definitely would’ve preferred a chili sauce but overall a great experience!

                  We had a great dinner. The only issue is we had to wait over 30 mins for our table even though we had a reservation. They took on way more reservations than they should have. The place was mobbed.

                  We are local and come here a lot but this visit was probably our worst experience. We didn’t get utensils or B&B plates until well after appetizers came, lobster bisque was without crackers and so were the actual oysters, all fries were overcooked, main courses and drinks took forever and our server was not attentive. We had to ask 3 times for sparkling water cause he just wasn’t remembering anything.

                  Absolutely fantastic. One of the best restaurant experiences we’ve ever had! Yazmin was lovely, endearing and has a great sense of humor. Food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside. Very attentive staff. Will definitely return next time we’re in the area.

                  Mom had the crab cakes and I had the tuna. Both were excellent. The wait staff was awesome. We both have allergies and they went above and beyond to accommodate.

                  We always love this place but the overall experience was not up to par to the many previous times we have eaten there. Spotty service, food not as tasty.
