    Our server was great, food was ok not great, all in all good except for when the manager came over to remind us about the 2 hour minimum stay, which I already knew about because they sent me what feels like a million emails about it. Seems like after that we felt rushed to finish, mind you we were sitting outside and for the last 30 minutes there was 4 open tables outside, so not sure the reason for the manager to come remind us then rush us to finish our meals.

    Great experience. Waited a bit for the server to show up, but still great service after. Veronica was very poll ok it’s and attentive. Our food took a bit longer, however the chef apologized for the wait in person. Overall, worth the food, service is worth the price and the view is exquisite.

    I made reservations through open table as I always do for any place and was seated fast. The waiter was good and attentive. The food was ok nothing special. I got the oysters which were very small and the home fries which were old and wasn’t that tasty. Ordered the biscuits basket ate a half of one, they were probably prepared early on. The place has really gone down since the pandemic.

    This place is one of a kind. From the moment he walked in the door to the moment you leave, you are treated like royalty, the food, the server, and everyone involved was a true treasure.
