Great food great service . Crabcakes are phenomenal !!!

Ordered the special which was a filet and 1/2 lobster that came with risotto and vegetables. The lobster that was served was inedible and the risotto was overcooked. The fillet was the only thing that could be eaten on the plate. The restaurant offered lobster ravioli as a replacement. There was so much mint flavor in the sauce that it was inedible as well. Management refused to take the meal off of our bill because the filet was eaten.
I understand charging for the filet but...read full review

Excellent food! Understaffed, tho. Staff seems to live in fear of owner.
