Steaks were cooked perfectly. Our waitress was very attentive and our food came quickly. The restaurant was clean and had a really nice vibe. The view of the harbor was really nice as well. 10/10 would go back again.

We started with a NY Eve ball drop cocktail which was fun and tasty; Pickled shrimp for a shared app for the table- delish! Our entrees were all very good: - southern chicken salad sandwich, fired chicken cutlet on brioche, shrimp and grits and Mahi Mahi sandwich —all freshly prepped and served hot. We had an enjoyable time and will return. Glad we made a reservation! Thank you.
