We had an excellent experience. We loved everything from the hostess to the food. I mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary when I made the reservation. They sat us at a very romantic semi circle table and the napkins were folded into hearts!! The hostess wished us a happy anniversary as soon as she seated us. The server was brand new and very attentive. The food was delicious. Cute part of town and beautiful decor. We will definitely be back.

The waitress was very nice but I realized there was no bartender or food server so we're obviously short staffed! After water was served she never came by again ito even take a drink order. There was a table of about 10 or 12 gentlemen, and I think was taking all of her attention to get the food out to them so we decided to leave to go to their sister restaurant Leone's a few blocks away, which was excellent!

Wonderful food and professional polite staff One dinner was late coming out but overall our experience with the staff and the restaurant was very positive.

Our server was amazing and the food was delicious. The perfect place to celebrate my partner's first Father's Day.

Food and service was excellent! Seafood Jambalaya was awesome! Crab cakes very good. Smoked clams will definitely bring me back again! Also the drinks were excellent (Mambo #5 awesome)
My only complaint was the lack of intimate seating (i.e. a booth). It was a happy hour environment but when celebrating an anniversary or similar I don't want to engage with everybody else in the restaurant, just my wife. And wobbly tables are my pet peeve.

Service was horrific but food was terrific. Arrived at 4:55. Waited 30 minutes for water (19 at one table and asked to be moved since we hadnt seen a server and it were seated next to a loud obnoxious couple After moving we waited some more. . It took 1hr and 20min for entrees. We were headed to a show and figured 2+ hours was adequate. Barely. We gobbled our food so we could make the show. Everyone in the place was stressed and annoyed. We won’t be back despite the food being good. Service was just so bad.

Dined here 2 days in a row. Everything was wonderful. 1st day sat at the bar. Brandon had exceptional service and made great drinks! 2nd night had table service and still great service. Forgive me, but I can't recall if the waitresses name was Kate or Kathy. Her service was excellent as well.The oysters were very fresh. I also had the calamari and hot honey Brussels. My girlfriend and her 2 daughters all had the blackend salmon Oscar and they all said it was delicious. Very nice portion of food! 2nd night I had the shrimp and grits and my girlfriend had peri peri chicken pasta both tasted amazing. Definitely going back for other entrees!

Our crabcake meals were absolutely excellent, and our service was wonderful. But the two at our table who ordered oysters were very disappointed. They were overcooked and tasted bitter. And they were cold.

Frances was our waitress & she was great! All of her suggestions were accurate and we had a great meal! Everything was good, oysters included! They also cook your steak accurately to how you ask! Scallops were 10/10 too! Definitely returning !

We’ve been here twice now; once on a weeknight and once on a Saturday. I made a reservation for my boyfriend’s birthday the first time and they stuck us in the basement with just the bartender to serve us. Even on a weeknight he was spread thin. The second time we came was a Saturday and they again shoved us in the basement although they had plenty of room on the main floor. Again we had the bartender alone taking care of us. Nothing against him, he was was gem, but it was clear he was in need of help with multiple tables and a full bar to tend to. The oysters were delicious but everything else was a bit of a let down both times; overpriced and tasteless.

I literally came back for the crab rolls! (My first experience was stellar ) My waitress said they were apart of happy hour. I stated id take them. She stated I could only get them at the bar, I stated I really wanted them so id do that. Just to be told that I couldnt get them at all. (Though it was still Happy Hour time.) Last time I came I did sit at the bar, but we also ordered from the main menu. So I was pretty appalled that I couldn’t just pay both the bartender and my waitress for the very items I came there for. Very disappointing visit. But our other items were delicious.

Undiscovered perfection. 4-6 Happy Hour is the best. Today will be 3 days in a row.

Loved the atmosphere and the food was enjoyed by everyone! We sampled oysters to start and I purchased the scallops and pork belly for my main course. Our server was phenomenal! Highly recommend.

I love the vibe, service was great but the food was just ok. They need to work on seasoning. I had the seafood jambalaya which was spicy, but not flavorful and the rice was sticky. My mom's crab cake was good, the green beans wasn't seasoned well either. The oyster rockefeller was plentiful but again not seasoned well and not enough cheese. Service was great and I love the atmosphere
