Very overpriced for what you get. 1000 potato and clam chowder were good, but the worst grilled shrimp I’ve ever had. Same went for the roasted heritage chicken my partner ordered as well - it was burnt and flavorless. Drinks and desserts were good.

Cocktails were great and very well crafted. The tuna entree dish was horrible, and during the dinner no one checked to see how things were. Was only asked if we needed a drink before entrees came.

The food was subpar and very expensive. If we knew, we would have spent our $600 for 4 people elsewhere.

Going out to celebrate our friends engagement and wanted to have a nice dinner out. Restaurant was VERY busy (it was Friday) and tables were very crammed together, and restaurant was very loud. The food was good and the service was good (not the best I’ve ever experienced, sufficient/satisfactory). Not dying to go back any time soon but did have a good meal.
