    Now I fully understand why the Beef Wellington is so popular. It was amazing! Well-seasoned with a flakey crust and cooked medium to perfection. I was there for lunch and had the petite version which just enough of this decadent treat.

    Great ambiance and service! I had the seafood salad and the grilled shrimp and chunks of crab were delicious and there was a nice combination of bacon, eggs, cucumber and tomatoes on a lightly dressed bed of kale as well. The presentation was delightful to the eye and composed beautifully. I will look forward to another visit in the future!

    This is a beautiful space. We had a large party of 8 pp, some friends were late, and we had a friend pull up last minute. I would say, not the easiest table. Our Captain and servers were very attentive and accommodating. All my guests left saying what a fabulous dinner it was. Fun cocktails. We shared a bunch of plates (Halloumi, Gigantes, Spanakopita, Mushrooms [Get Them!]) Feta Wrapped Phyllo, and some ordered mains. The food was so yummy! We will be back.

    Highly recommend Hen Quarter Prime. The service was excellent and the food was great. We tried the fried green tomatoes, oysters, deviled eggs and Caesar salad for starters. For entrees we had the steak, sea bass, and jerk bites. We really enjoyed the food. The restaurant is beautiful and the cocktails were also good. This restaurant is going into my regular rotation.
