Dined on March 13th to celebrate a birthday. We were warmly welcomed and exceptionally taken care of by the staff. Ordered oysters, burnt ends and the delicious seafood boil -had 2 orders of the boil, which was enough for three to feel completely satisfied. Will return, highly recommend a whisky flight as well. Thank you for a lovely evening!

I love going to this restaurant. My friend went for the first time and loved it as well. We were able to take our time and were not rushed. The food as always was great and the portions are generous. Our server Fi is awesome; engaging, personable and always smiling. It’s like being at your best friend’s house for dinner.
