Sauce on redfish looked like mud, was way too spicy and had a synthetic taste. “Lump” crab cake had an almost liquid character. Prices given food quality were excessive. Place was a bit worn around the edges. Will not return.

We showed up a little early and checked in. Then we sat at the bar and had a drink before heading upstairs to our table. The servers were all very friendly and nice, they took great care of the entire team and allowed us time to talk without interrupting. The food was great as always. The streaks were cooked to perfection.
