Will definitely be going here, was told the food is amazing
Amazing every time! Pretzels and crab did are a must. I have tried something different each time we go and never disappointed. Lobster Mac and cheese is one of my favorites!
Food was excellent!
best seafood and steak around!
Celebrating retirement with oysters and seafood trio. Fabulous!
Wildly racist , classist , and rude owner and patrons. Their racism has even made the news. The comments and behavior to BIPOC is out of hand and needs to be looked into .
Called to make resy for Kentucky Derby day. Owner
/bartender was kind to out us in a booth right in front of the TV!! Menu is very inventive and typical of a higher priced fine dining restaurant. Pricing is reasonable, service was attentive without being overbearing, cocktails were creative. Everything to like about it, nothing to complain about.
This establishment offers a truly exceptional dining experience. The ribs are cooked to perfection, boasting both tenderness and flavor. The steak is also remarkably prepared and so tender, exhibiting culinary expertise. The atmosphere complements the meal, creating a memorable occasion. It's a place worth revisiting for another delightful culinary adventure.
Good drinks and bar food.
Food was amazing. Server was not very professional and seemed frazzled. She did not bring out sauce with meals and we had to wait while good was getting cold. Probably need to have an additional server on weekend nights. Dirty martini was not at all dirty. Restaurant became too loud for conversation when basketball games ramped up. Need to decide if it is going to be a sports bar or a bourbon bar/ restaurant and cater to one or the other.

Crab dip was excellent.
Best steak! Best rockfish! Time to find a bigger place, darlings; you were packed to the gills this weekend! Norfolk's best kept secret!
So delicious! Small neighborhood joint with amazing food. Owner cooks, serves and greets. If not, Tod and Sarah are wonderful!!!
One of our favorite places to eat. Crab cakes are perfection. Monday night ribs- delicious. LOVE the Sunday steamed shrimp special especially during the summer especially when I don’t feel like cooking. The regular menu is great, but love the rotating specials.
Delicious food. I liked it very much!
