    A bright and clean space. Very family friendly. The wait staff is friendly and attentive without being cloying. They suggested fresh oysters and my spouse quite liked them. I had a mixed cocktail (crushed velvet) that tasted good and didn't burn my throat on the way down. I was there for their Thanksgiving dinner: moist turkey, flavorful dressing, and excellent peacan pie. Everything else was what you'd expect from mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy.

    Crab cake was ho hum and very small for the cost. The Calamari was just OK. For 2 apps and 3 sandwiches after tip $140 is a bunch of money, and no cocktails or beers. Not rushing back.

    Very nice location - lots of different rooms and bars, all impeccably decorated. The service was excellent. The restaurant (and bars) were hopping but did not feel overly crowded. The number of people did make it hard to hear across the table. The drinks were fantastic - a good selection of interesting cocktails and a number of alcohol free options. The food itself was average. The meals were plated beautifully with appropriate portion sizes.
