The food was good, the service was good, the atmosphere was nice, it was okay. I've eaten in lots of great restaurants- I feel like I'm giving this review a fair shake. What could have been great food was meh. I might eat here again, and would stick to appetizers, drinks and salads. And dessert!!

Everything was amazing had the rock of lamb, the rock fish. For our sides we did the lobster Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and French fries.

I was sitting at the bar because I was alone. I had a stroke while I was there. One of the employees also worked at the hospital and realized that I was having a stroke and called an ambulance. I'm grateful I was there instead of home alone.

My Wife and I have eaten at Dan's and enjoyed every visit. We did not know about the Admiral until we got there. We decided to try it but as we walked in we should have figured something out as we were the only customers in the dining room. Several people were at the bar. One look at the menu and again we should have politely gotten up and left. They seem to be trying to be something they know very little about (a fine dining establishment). No bread, no sides included with the very unimpressive entrees. I had the duck my wife had the scallops. The duck was barely warm and mostly fat. Everything was very overpriced. We most assuredly will not return to the Admiral. (Neither should you!) If you are just two people you will feel better if you just give a homeless person the $100+ dollars you will resent paying at the Admiral.

Best crab cake. I can't believe how much crab is in each one! A true value! Thank you for not hiding behind bread crumbs and imperial binders. Much appreciated.
We throughly enjoyed our meals and Will be back.

The host was so nice and pretty, the service was amazing! The salad was probably the best salad I have ever had. Everyone deserves a raise!! So good!!

Had a beautiful dinner here on Saturday. Service was spot on and friendly. Food was delicious and perfectly prepared. We enjoyed every minute of our dinner experience. We will certainly be back!

What a gem!!! We have had three amazing experiences at The Admiral! The food is simply AMAZING!! We've tried the filet (cooked perfectly), ribeye (soooo tender and full of flavor), crab cake (super lump with amazing flavor), cream of crab soup, scallops, lobster mac and cheese (one of my favorite menu items), and more! It was all DELICIOUS! The drinks and service were just as good! This is our new favorite spot!! You can definitely tell the owners pour their all into their restaurant!!

I don't mind paying good money for good food ...this place was real good money but not good food. Crab cakes looked like Mrs Paul's and the lobster mac and cheese was horrid. Live and learn..won't be back

After having traveled the country for a prior job and enjoying fine dining experiences up and down the east coast, I have to say that the Admiral makes the rest of those places look like "A finer dining experience".I've got a lot to say but I'll keep my points simple on hopes people actually read them.1: Decorated Finely - But not FinerThe decor in the Admiral let's off a tone of a restaurant as a hobby and not that of a fine dining establishment, which is everything it seems to reach for.Fake diamonds and cheap table cloth do well to hide problems and act as a cover, not an enhancement.2: A la carte - Less for moreBe aware the Admiral uses an a la carte style of menu where your mains are not served with sides. While the sides are large enough to share this leaves a table of two, or more, in a bit of a bind on what to get and split.3: Expensive - But blandDue to the cost of the entrees and my table of three simply wanting to eat dinner and not our wallets we chose to dine from the sides, and soup options.I have made far better macaroni and cheese from a box. Adding a quarter of a chopped lobster tail doesn't fix it, or make it worth its value of $8.The Duck Fat Fries, while good, taste like regular fries, and are coated generously with a healthy coating of salt, reminiscent of McDonald's fries, just thicker.The French Onion soup, at $9 for a 12oz cup topped with half a biscuit and enough greyure to chew on for an hour was, to its credit, somewhat enjoyable, but certainly not redeemable.All in all, if you're looking for an establishment to host your friends so that they may think you've got expensive taste, and a wallet to afford it, then the Admiral is for you.If you're passing through, visiting, or a local looking for a bite to eat, and an environment to be social without breaking the bank, the Admiral is not for you.

An unfortunate replacenent to Dan's. Nothing on the entire menu really caught my eye. Especially considering the prices. We ended up sharing some of the sides. They are table sized and the taste was fine. But it was not anything super exceptional. However it seemed to be the only thing on the menu that wasn't puffed up and pretentious. We were also left waiting on the check after the table was cleared for roughly 15-20 minutes.The atmosphere was strange as well. It feels like it's trying to be upscale but they don't quite have it down. The fake diamonds in the window sills were a humorously gaudy touch.Overall I can't recommend it and I won't be returning. Jenovanis across the street was a much more enjoyable experience.
