    Excellent food well prepared and attentive service in this small enclave makes this a go-to spot. A bit out of the way but that makes it more enjoyable since the crowds on Madison or Fifth avenues are not a problem. Stone crab claws were large and well prepared. The menu says 2lb Lobster stuffed with crabmeat and the dish is actually a good size lobster simply layered with huge chunks of crab-no breading. They offer to shell it for you as well. The wine list is extensive although I couldn't find many familiar names. Amazing place but be warned you'll need to have a fireproof credit card if you want the best of this fare..

    Good food, nice environment. Too preoccupied with speed of turnover. Would probably not go back. Felt much too rushed.

    The restaurant is incredibly noisy. We yelled through the dinner to hear each other. The waiters at surrounding tables yelled out the specials so customers could hear. Wish I would have known the special Denver sole cost $90. OMG. Smith and Wollensky charged $65 for the same dish. It was bland and under seasoned. After ordering our sole and branzino entrees, they came to the table in about 60 seconds. There is no way two fish dishes can cook in less than a minute from ordering. They had to have been pre-cooked and waiting for someone to order them. The lobster mac and cheese had VERY little lobster. In four large serving scoops, I had one small piece of lobster.
