Overpriced, food was good, but not matching the price. For 2 people $125 it's too much. Restaurant has some view on a swamp with gravel plant and the bridge. When you enter the facility it reminds me some doctor's office.

The food was very good. Nice place. Nice ambience. Nice waitress. Our experience would have been better if my wife had been served the Old Fashion she ordered shortly after being seated, if the Tawny Port on the menu was in stock and the coffee I had ordered after dinner had been served. The 2 beers my son and I ordered were delivered promptly. The waitress was nice but our beverage orders were not served and she was not attentive to this aspect of our dining experience. The restaurant would have made another $25 or $30 if our drinks had been served.

The waitress was a little pushy as if she was trying to hurry me to eat. The environment wasn't as welcoming.

Had our hopes high for this place but was really disappointed. Food was not cooked right, three of us ordered the filet mignon, all three were very undercooked. Medium rare was rare and cold, medium well was medium rare. The vegetables were cold and very bland. Even the potatoes were bland. For the price we paid we should have gotten food that was edible. Way over priced!

It's ok. The food is pretty bland but the service is fast. I guess the salt and pepper at the table are there for a real reason. The Margherita was good and the views are great

Food was not seasoned at all. Place uses frozen veggies. I can make a better meal at home especially for the damn price. Service was good but these people selling you a half ass vibe. Location is in a strange spot along with the food unseasoned. You’ll see the type of people that eat there says it all. They need a new cook for sure because he is not doing 100% that he can. I had better seafood in the navy lol

The atmosphere was good the waiter was great Alexa. Now the Food was trash especially for the bill so not worth it. The food was not season at all! I was very disappointed when the plates came out. The forget about it poor asparagus frozen and straight to the water. Salmon was ok I had better mash potatoes straight out the box. To sum it up the cook was tired or just didn’t give a dam. Waste of money

It must have been an off night when we went. I see all these 5 star reviews, but honestly it was the most expensive bland meal I’ve had in a long time. We had lamb, steak, and pasta. Not one dish had any flavor. Not a hint of rosemary, garlic, nothing. The side veggies weren’t fresh they were what you’d get at the grocery store frozen, add butter, and microwave. $200 meal and it was that tasteless. Great staff and atmosphere but the food was mid at best. Very disappointed it was that bland and that expensive.

Enjoyed the restaurant. We were seated immediately. The fried oysters were delicious! My only issue was with the risotto. It was exactly like dry rice which is not what it should be, the mashed potatoes were better.

Made a last-minute decision to stop here, not the best move, I suppose. It was a very average overall experience. Could have been MUCH better, but the wait staff (not our waitress...she was very good) was completely oblivious that we were having a nice dinner and a rare date night alone. We got seated in a bar booth, and the staff was yelling across the room at each other, talking smack about other people, even while one of them was standing at the table next to us. Lobster bisque was very good, steak was average (who serves a filet with geavy?), and the shrimp tasted like Costco shrimp. Overall, it is certainly not worth the $150 bill.

Food was really good overall. Bit too salty. Cocktails were really good and service was great. Little outdated decor, but view was lovely.

The food had great flavor. Everything was cooked perfectly, and seasoning was on point. Service was slow, but the wait was worth it.
