“We were a group of 8 that arrived early. Thankfully, we were seated in the bar area where we had cocktails and then sat at a nice, somewhat secluded table for dinner. The crab cakes appetizer was fabulous, the bread with oil & vinegar was great, along with our meals. Thank you so much for the friendly atmosphere. The only downside was the parking as we had to park across the street as there were other other private business signs. We will visit again. (Someone responded by saying this comment violates the rules? I left the restaurant 5 🌟 🤩 stars. The parking is a legitimate complaint.) Is someone just being stinky?“
