The steak was stuff. This was worst steak house I have ever been too. You would think if pay a good price for a steak it would be tender and moist. This was the toughest steak I have ever had. I have been to some nice steak houses. Smith and Wollensky in NY and Ruth Criss and for what you pay you would thought you pay that much for a steak it would be comparable, but it was not . Don’t waste your money.

The owner was extremely rude and obnoxiously berated my husband, tonight. He went in the restaurant to make an order to go. She came to seat him, he told her he was waiting to make a to go order; she said she wasn't taking that and walked away. He assumed that someone else would come to take the order. So, he walked over to the bar to look at a menu; she came back and raised her voice with "What do you think your doing?" He explained to look at the menu to make an order. She was extremely loud and scolded him with, "Let me break it down for you..." Very loudly verbally attacking him about how making a to go order takes away from the customers that are in there now... THIS WAS NOT NECESSARY!!!! You're online info says you do have "take-out" which we have done several times in the past!!! We recently have been dealing with some of the most HORRIBLE things adults can go through!!! Barely able to care for ourselves and not to mention my husband has HORRIBLE (at times - crippling) PTSD and this is how you treat people!!!! It's great to know what kind of business you have there and especially, how you treat people with disabilities!!! Unacceptable!!!!! As for your patrons jumping on board name calling because they feel confident with your display of tyranny - great job!!! Wonderful group!!!

We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table, but they provided us a place to wait and offered us drinks. The service and food were great, and both women had enough of our pork chops and chicken breasts to make another meal for the next day. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

A very friendly and chipper staff! The owner creature at the door and seats you in the dining room or the waiting area. We were told about this place by my wife’s brother as one of the best places to get fried oysters and it did not disappoint! my wife’s family is from the area and she learned years ago to enjoy fried oysters so when she’s back in the area she tries to find a place where she can get them. She decided to get the seafood platter and I got the crabcake and she shared the fried clams from her seafood platter. We couldn’t eat, but just a bit more than half of the enormous portion that we were served. My Crab-cake was the biggest I had ever seen and it was delicious!! my wife thoroughly enjoyed her fried clams that were locally harvested.
