I was in the area and decided to visit some places that were recommended. This restaurant seemed to be just what we were looking for. We ordered a variety of dishes and drinks, including the delicious Sunny Daze cocktail. I ordered the NY strip steak for $63.00 without any side dishes, and also enjoyed the salmon with white beans and spinach. To share, we had birria tacos and mashed potatoes. Everything was tasty, prepared fresh and served hot. Unfortunately, my mashed potatoes were brought out at the end of our meal, so I had to take them to go instead of enjoying them with my main dishes. The service was okay. Although I live an hour away, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back,...

The roasted bone marrow was tasty, while the oysters and lobster rolls were exceptional. The restaurant focuses on shareable dishes, and the portions are on the smaller side. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and specials, and she was attentive throughout our meal. For a group of four, we ordered six small plates to share and two drinks each, and the total bill came to just over $300. The restaurant tends to be quite loud, as all the diners are seated in a single room.

Here's what we ordered: The fresh oysters were outstanding. The lobster salad was also exceptional. The shrimp pad Thai had a nice flavor, but the shrimp were a bit chewy and overcooked. The Dover sole, which was a special, came with lion's mane mushrooms, onions, and sauce, and it was quite delicious, though the fish was slightly overdone. The poke bowl lived up to our expectations for freshness. The rum banana bars were enjoyable, but we could barely taste the rum flavor.

I had been eager to try this restaurant for years, but sadly, it didn't live up to my expectations. The food was just average, the portions were small and overpriced, and the staff was not very attentive. While some may find it enjoyable, I was left unimpressed and don't intend to return. It's disappointing, especially since I was looking forward to this experience. Book a table now

This restaurant is my favorite place on the south side for great food, outstanding service, and enjoyable drinks. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, ensuring that every visit is a delightful experience. The chef is exceptional, crafting a menu that frequently evolves while still featuring beloved classics for a well-rounded offering.

We shared all of the dishes we ordered, including crab cakes, spicy garlic shrimp, mini lobster rolls, "not your daddy's" mac and cheese, and lobster bisque shooters. Everything was amazing! The weather was beautiful so we sat on the patio. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant. Service was great and we had a delicious lunch.

I recently had dinner at this restaurant and had an amazing experience. The price per person ranged from $30 to $50. The food, service, and atmosphere were all top-notch and I would rate them all a perfect 5. I highly recommend trying the Spicy Garlic Shrimp, Little Bit of Chicken Fried, and the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail.

I've been to this restaurant numerous times. I feel the food is is somewhat expensive and the service is generally very good. As far as ambience it's a little noisy. I may go back, but I can go to other restaurants that I prefer I would suggest if you haven't tried it that you did so you can make your own decision. Book a table now

I’m not too pleased that this restaurant doesn’t allow oysters to go or for carryout, but I can deal with it. I guess I’ll just eat the whole batch right there, haha!
