Our server was amazing, I don’t remember her name, unfortunately. I had the shrimp tacos and my husband and son had a pasta dish with shrimp and sausage, but I don’t remember the name of that. It was delicious. We had steamed clams for an appetizer, and my only regret is that it wasn’t served with a spoon so we could drink the rest of the broth. Delicious!

Nice restaurant and I was very excited to experience the lobster roll here. While it was tasty, there was very little (i.e. portion size) for the VERY steep price of $38. definitely not worth the expense.

The steak and pineapple upside down were exceptional! However the lobster roll was awful. Service was great though.

We ordered several dishes. My friend's Ceasars salad arrived after she finished her entree. Another side also came after the entree. Waiter tried his best.

Our experience was great however, we were seated in the back corner by a window that directly allowed the sun to beam on some of the party as well as the table… in the midst of the Texas summer, you may imagine how sweltering that afternoon heat felt. Not only was the weather oppressive but there were these flies that surrounded the table as food began to come. Our waiter was great and knowledgeable but we just wished he offered to move us (as there were other tables available) after we mentioned our circumstances with flies and the heat. 3 out of the 4 of us were previous servers and in a nice establishment as such, would have wanted to make our guests feel comfortable. Or at least have a manager come by and apologize for such conditions.

Everything was great, just wish the oysters were larger as they were quite small. They literally fit on a quarter of the size of the crackers provided.

Food was good. Sea Bass was thinner than I usually see it. The wine list needs major upgrade. Only two chardonnays at a seafood restaurant? And you were out of one of them. We settled for a mediocre Tempranillo. Need to double your white wine choices.

The server was very kind and up front about things the kitchen had run out of. We went with a taste for something specific and they had run out which is no one’s fault in particular - it happens sometimes. However, the amount of things out on that particular evening gave the impression that they were a new (or maybe even a closing) restaurant. We were also the youngest ones there which overall contributed to the feeling we weren’t supposed to be there.
