    We had a table by an outside door and it was freezing outside so the table was right next to the door that had cold air poring in. We asked to be moved or turn up the heat. They could not move us because there were no other tables so we had to eat with our coats on. Not a pleasant experience at all high end restaurant. The food was great and our waiter and his staff were wonderful but the door should be closed off or insulated. Perhaps don’t use the table near the door in the winter.

    I have been going to B&B for a couple of years. It is one of my favorites. The food and service is as close to perfect as you can get.

    I had the filet mignon and my husband had the strip steak and lump crab. Both were delicious and cooked just the way we asked. Nice intimate meal where you needs were met but you were not bothered either.

    Food was great. Amazing flavor in our steaks. My wife loved her scallops. My crab was fine. The sides were great. I loved the floorless torte so much I took another one home. Service was steady and attentive. I appreciated they recognized my birthday without over doing it. Certainly worth the visit.

    Great venue and great food. Recommended for special occasions, as it's pricey and the portions are small.
