We had an outstanding dining experience at The Press Gang that was enhanced by our server, Lindsey. We started with oysters and yellow-fin tuna. Both dishes were scrumptious. Our mains were the Tuscan Atlantic Salmon and Seafood Risotto. Both were excellent and Lindsay suggested the perfect wine pairing. This was by far one of the best dining experiences we have had!
Amazing food!!! Freshest oysters I’ve ever had!!! Service was impeccable!! You won’t be disappointed!
I have been coming to the Press Gang for 20 years and while the owners have changed, the stunning atmosphere, delicious food and fun service have not. So great to see. The play list however an insufferable list of AM hits from the 70/80's. Doesn't make me want to hang around the bar and have another cocktail.
