We were pleasantly surprised with the amount of people at the restaurant on a Monday evening. We ordered four different apps/shareables and four different entrees. Every single one of them were tasty and well prepared. Usually, you find an issue with at least one or two of the items but not this time, they were executed with perfection! My only complaint was the noise level, they converted the restaurant from an industrial space so it's always been loud, not a surprise but...
Patrick was an outstanding server! My dish (Whole red fish)was drowned in sauce which I would have preferred not. Everything else we ordered was delish! The oysters never disappoint!
Patrick the bartender is as always awesome. Great service and great mixologist. Patrick our waiter was also great. Super attentive and made our experience that much better. Food = awesome.
