    Our overall experience was great. We dined her to celebrate our youngest daughter’s12th birthday. A supervisor or manger can’t remember but she was super warm and welcoming. She engaged my daughter when we walked in and also at the table. She noticed that a huge party was seated directly behind us which could have caused the servers to bump into our seats and disturb us during dinner. She walked over to us to let us know that she was moving us because she wanted us to have a trouble free experience. Her thoughtfulness made a huge impression before before our meal or drinks. Our drinks: My daughters ordered a Shirley temple, and the pineapple mojitos that they enjoyed. I enjoyed the expresso martini which was a little sweet for me but it still taste great. My husband had the royal sidecar which he said was strong but sidecars are typically strong but good drinks. Appetizers: Chef Crafted Chargrilled Oysters w/ Garlic butter and Parmesan were seasoned well but a bit dry (I’m a New Orleans Native so I may be biased here). The Chesapeake Bay Style Crab Cakes were unexpectedly huge lots of lump crab meat no fillers so good! The Spicy Tuna Poke was so good. Entrees: Shellfish mixed Grill (x2) was good per the girls. My husband had the 10 oz Center Cut Filet Mignon with an added lobster tail. The first steak was overcooked but they took it back and provided a medium steak he said it was meh and the lobster was good. I had the Lobster Thermidor which was so tasty I didn’t share. The lobster fried rice was spicy but good to 2 out of 4 people at the table. The Parmesan Truffle fries was gone in 5 minutes the black garlic aioli sauce made it exceptional! Dessert: We had Baked Alaska. The presentation was unexpected. My daughter loved that it was set ablaze. The meringue and chocolate cake was so good, the ice cream was made with peppermint but that’s not my thing. Since it was my daughter’s cake and her opinion matters her she devoured the entire cake and loved it.

    Our anniversary celebration was exceptional! We visited with our family. Cedric, our server was excellent with suggestions for drinks and food. We enjoyed every dish that we had as well as the drinks. The different take on the traditional dishes without changing their essence was very refreshing to us as Indians. I do think it's a bit pricey for food that we as Indians can make at home, but overall, I recommend the restaurant highly especially for special occasions and celebrations. The ambience and the service along with the food presentation make it a great experience.

    I made a reservation at 7pm and I had to ask 3x if our table was ready and our large party was waiting and we didn’t get seated until close to 7:25pm. I love dining here, I’ve come here twice within the last week, however this booking for my best friend’s 50th was not the best service. We had to keep asking for water, refills on drinks, and knowing who our wait staff really was. The food was AMAZING and everyone enjoyed it but the only complaint was the service.

    The food was good and so was the service. I was surprised that we were charged 20% gratuity and we were a party of two. Besides that it was an enjoyable experience and I will definitely come back.
