“Went here with a party of 4. The crab cakes were unreal and possibly the best I have ever had. I ordered the seafood trio which was tasty but the crab cakes are what I dream about.Service was great and Brad was very knowledgeable and happy to serve us. Highly recommended. The food is pricey but look at the pictures people posted. The plating and presentation is second to none. We left full and had a lovely evening. Thanks for the delicious meal.Parking: Limited parking available. If Jackie Rey's is within walking distance this may be the best option.“

“View, staff, drinks and the starter were fine. Main course however was disappointing. We had Pasta and beef Rips (too much fat in the meat) No compensation was offered. Personally we would only go here again for drinks. Tacos might be the best “
