                I expected much more, seafood was not exactly fresh, bad oysters, old shrimp, lobsters with a taste not recommended.

                Had a reservation and they tried to out us at a horrible table in a high traffic area while the restaurant was basically empty. No water views or anything. Server was rude, abrupt and clearly we were bothering her. No jelly for toast. Decaf coffee was flat out cold. Food was ok but not worth price point!
