    Nice first visit. We had the east coast oyster sampler, which was good. Second course, my wife had the Charleston she crab soup, which she really liked; I had the shrimp cocktail which was good but only provided 3 shrimp for $21. We shared the Hank's broiled platter - red snapper, scallops, shrimp with rice and broccollini, which was excellent, seasoned perfectly with old bay. Service was exceptional.

    We went for happy hour. Every appetizer we had was amazing. The oysters were fabulous as was the pub burger. My cocktail and the wine were great too. You can’t beat the happy hour prices or the exceptional service we had. Our server Jordan was the icing on the cake. She was exceptional!

    We went before a hockey game and were pleasantly greeted and promptly seated. Nicely decorated with a pleasant ambiance. Casey, our incredible server, came over right away and told us about the great happy hour specials, including many menu items at 50% off as well as cocktails and wine. Casey gave us many good suggestions and brought out our food in a timing and logical manner. She checked on us several times and we never felt rushed. Good food at reasonable prices with a great server. Highly recommend!

    We had a wonderful time. Booked the Winter Haus rooftop experience, there were 6 of us. They had a heater to warm the space, nice ambiance. They had fire going outside. We ordered several things from the menu and everything was really good. Our server Owen was absolutely delightful!
