Looks pretty nice, need to take care of the fruit flies and this gets a 5 stars on ambiance. Server was ok, cute kid running around asking if we needed water didn't hurt.Got the special: Crab Cake. I'm a Salaried Chef, and appreciate when specials have the full heart and soul of the Chef behind them, as I do. I rarely if ever send back food, if it's bad but edible I'll eat it with disappointment. This crab cake was probably the worst tasting thing I've ever eaten. For non-Chefs, have you ever microwaved something for too long, and the outside gets rock hard? That was the exterior of the crab cake. Not only that, but it was burnt... Horribly burnt. I don't know what this crab did to hurt the cook so badly, but even an hour later I could still taste that horrible burnt flavor. My guess is they burnt a few crab cakes on Valentine's Day, froze them instead of throwing them out, microwaved the burnt crab cake, and tossed some panko in top. The panko was literally not attached to the crab cake, they were like 2 different entities on opposite ends of the world. I asked the server to try and cut into it, and after a struggle, he said "fine". I told him to taste it, and he wouldn't dare. Hopefully they 86'd it.Message to the Chef: Please put your heart and soul into your cooking. A "special" should be special! I'm not mad, just disappointed. If you hate cooking, get out of the kitchen. Don't serve completely burnt rock hard crab cakes. I'd be embarrassed to serve this to my guests. If you need help, reach out. I feel bad, I've seen cooks burn out and lose their passion. I hope you tried the crab cake, and realized how truly awful it was.This restaurant is unforgettable in the absolute worst way. I feel bad putting down a cook, I've been in the industry for decades, but if you worked in my restaurant you'd be written up for serving such awful food, maybe fired (Unions make things hard with a successful restaurant). If you mess up a dish, or use a microwave (except for vegans, they get what they deserve), don't serve it. I'd rather have waited an hour for a decently made crab cake. I only have a few days off a month, and eating that crab cake was like eating the dead soul of the cook. I just feel sad for the cook, and they need help.

Food and service were spot on! I had shrimp and pasta which was delicious. The balsamic vinaigrette which I chose as the dressing for my salad was the best I’ve ever had.

Waitress was nice and friendly. I went in to try the calamari. It did not disappoint! Best calamari I've had in along time! Nice low-lighting atmosphere. A bit pricey if I didn't have a discount voucher, but it's more upscale than the average quick eatery.

I have lived down the street fromt this restaurnt for nearly a decade and heard some mixed reviews. I finally gave it a try and I was pleasantly surprised. Most entrees come with a salad and they give you some complimentary pita and hummus. I had the Lobster, shrimp, and scallops Capri and I have to be honest it was bussin!! The seafood tasted fresh and was tender and the sauce was delightful. My wife had the Seafood New Orleans and she wasn't crazy about it, so I ate her leftovers and tho it wasn't as good as my dish it was still good. 5 stars for my experience

Five of us sat at a table in the back for lunch. We were comfortable. It wasn't busy and our waiter was confidently low key and accurately attentive. We appreciated being able to hear one another talk. I had the best veggie burger I've ever had, by far. We all had different meals and each of us noted that the food was quite good. On the way out my step sister noted that they seemed to sell humus to go and she liked hers well enough to come back just for that. We'll be back again.

Never eat here EVER!!! Let’s start off with the HVAC system was broken and there was NO heat. Currently 42 degrees out and we froze. Everyone, just a few because this place sucks so bad, had their winter coats on. Over priced and food was awful. Added lamb to greek salad and it was big chunks and a piece was raw. Two salads, cup soup and side of hummus $72!!!! Drank water for God sakes. The worst part is we asked for the manager/owner to ask for one salad to be taken off and at first he flat out said no. I don’t care. I looked at him and said you are the owner and you don’t care he said NO I DONT. He reluctantly took off a salad and then refused to honor our local flavor certificate. I will be contacting them as well. Save the money and skip this dump.

Food sounded great, smelled great but was so overspiced. Food was so ? hot I could only take a few bites. Chocolate cake....the menu meant to say chocolate mouse, not the same thing. Seafood was petite and overpriced. For 1 dinner, 1 drink, 1 dessert with tip was $65.00You should be full and happy for that price

Many years ago we had tried this restaurant and were disappointed. We learned that it had changed hands so we decided to give it a try. There is not a lot of ambiance but that is not to say that there is anything negative. We sat up front in the bar area as it was very light being near the large front windows. Deeper in this rather long restaurant looked to be fairly dark. The service was very friendly. The bartender doubles as the waitress for the front area. The food was very good. I ordered a regular hamburger and my wife ordered a veggie burger. Both were very large and cooked perfectly. We also ordered fries and they were hot and tasty as well. It did take a while for the food to arrive which was a bit surprising since the restaurant was not busy. A nearby diner ordered a salad and we noticed how large it was and they commented that it was quite good. In short, we will be visiting again. Worth a try if you are in the area.
