Generally good experiences here, mostly sit by bar.
Thai Curry Mussels, Sweet Potato Fries, and Grilled Octopus are my usuals.

The servers were very friendly, but the service was disorganized. Our order was fumbled (I think we arrived during a shift change), 5 different people came to our table, and we were billed full price for things we ordered during happy hour. The food was fine, not great, not bad. I wanted to love it, but currently cannot recommend it.

Went for the Labor Day mussel deal. Food was good, service was quite slow. We were one of five tables in the afternoon hour

Food/happy hour deals are fine, but nothing to write home about. Service left something to be desired. I was at the bar and had to leave. I needed to ask for my check three times before I was finally able to close out, which made me late. There’s enough other options in the area that I won’t return.

Nice location with good service but a major food disappointment. Calamari was rubbery. Standard mussels lacked flavor. Everyone at the table had the same reaction. Pretty surprising considering that’s this place’s main dish. Good sauces and my friend enjoyed his pasta but overall we felt let down. I had hoped this would become a go to spot. Unfortunate.

Maharette- Not sure if I spelled her name correctly. But, she was SO kind, caring, and thoughtful. Provided the best service I have seen in this town. I wish there were more people that were as attentive as she is. This restaurant also had incredible live music. I will certainly come again with friends and spread the word!
Dietary restrictions: Followed fantastic instruction with dietary needs! That’s hard to find. Thank you!

The place was mostly empty. We had a trainee as a server and she did the best she could, but the rest of the staff were pretty awful. Got a really strange and aggressive attitude from one other server and many of our orders were never brought out. We were told it was an issue with their staffing and computer system.
The manager was super apologetic and comped a lot of our check without us asking, but it couldn't make up for all the issues.

Our server, Andrew, provided the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. First, he came to our table and gave us water without even saying hi or a simple greet. Then, a few minutes later, he rudely asked how long it'll be until the rest of my party arrives. After ordering, he asked if we would be ordering ala carte or family style. I simply responded saying the couples will be sharing so we would like the bill split. He then rudely responded “ok so you're doing family style” in a condescending manner/tone. He didn't bother to refill my water, not even once. We had a party of 5 so he automatically received a 20% tip which is far more than deserved on a $300+ bill. I’m beyond surprised ownership would allow this type of customer service/behavior. As a former customer, I will never go back to this restaurant and I highly do not recommend this restaurant due their poor/rude customer service.

We’ve been here a few times and have never had an issue. Today was brutal. Took over 35 mins to get a drink (wasn’t busy at all) and our waiter barely acknowledged the fact it took this long. The table parallel to us (who sat down 15 mins after we arrived) got their drinks the same time as us…. I really wouldn’t have cared if the waiter told us the bar was slammed but there was nothing. When the bill finally came we gave him our credit card and patiently waited. He eventually looked at us after minutes later and started looking for the card (he must have left it inside) but like come on? Someone could have easily stolen our information during the x amount of time it was missing. We won’t be returning.

I really like this spot specifically for happy hour! I think it's just a little overpriced for the rest of the menu, but their happy hour deals are excellent and the atmosphere is also really nice!
