Great food but some mixed drinks are quite expensive. The seats are metal chairs which are very cold and hard (uncomfortable). We visit here about every 2-3 months.

Servers were rude and poorly trained. None spoke English as a primary language so ordering became a system of pointing at the menu. I speak Spanish fluently they were not Spanish speakers, they looked Asian and had some kind of a French like accent, I couldn’t understand them. The menu is limited and bleak. It’s more of a bar masquerading as restaurant. We got the goat cheese balls where we lacking in taste and oddly garnished. ALL seafood was excellent I had oysters that despite the odd choice of sauce were excellent and the seafood fettuccini. All seafood in the fettuccini was great but the fettuccini was a heavy , underdone egg noodle that was hard to chew and hard to swallow. I suspect someone who didn’t know what they were doing were trying to make them by hand. Despite being a large restaurant searing was cramped, uncomfortable and oddly positioned. Wait staff didn’t come by often enough to refresh drinks and when they did bring something they had an odd habit of abruptly stiffing in your face while you’re conversing or drinking or eating an appetizer still, instead of putting it elsewhere on the table. The other patrons were likewise very young, loud and mostly foreign and don’t have any etiquette or know how to behave in public. Quiet, cultured conversation is impossible here and if you want to relax this isn’t the place. Go across the street to whiskey and ramen.

The restaurant was very nice and service and food was perfect. The only setback was a table of about 8 people across from us that was apparently inebriated and very loud and obnoxious. They seemed to be annoying everyone in the restaurant (if you could imagine sitting right next to them.) But once they left the experience was quite enjoyable.
