My wife and I visited for the first time and loved it! I met Joe Theismann last week at a men’s retreat and I told him we would check the place out. The food and service was great and the noise level was perfect, the music was a great selection and was not too loud for conversation. Cheers!

Overall great experience, but why do you not have basics (salt/pepper shakers, sugar/sweeteners) at all tables. Big inconvenience for both customers & wait staff to have to ask (and wait) for these!

The food was like that… the Maryland Blue Crab Dip was hitting on all cylinders and the chicken salad was one of the best I’ve ever indulged in. I’ll definitely be back sooner than later.
