    Service was excellent. Drinks were good but nothing amazing. Food was fine. Cost compared to taste wasnt on par with other fine dining restaurants. Bit too expensive in my opinion. Order - started with the cold seafood appetizer-my wife had to spit out an oyster bc it was bad. Two jumbo shrimps. The tuna was great. The roll was fine. The cocktail sauce was ketchup i think - not true cocktail sauce. Had the hamburger - its a small patty. Decent taste. Fries were great. Wife had the lobster linguine. Lobster was a bit overcooked. The mussels were good but one was off tasting. The linguine was really good.

    I get it, it was Mother’s Day but too long wait, waitress promised to find a spot inside and could see there were empty seats, when I asked she said it was reserved, which I doubt. The food is okay, but overpriced, limited choice for a brunch. Don’t think I’ll go there again.

    Fantastic service, delicious food, a great night! We sat at the bar which is always fun, but I will say the bar chairs are probably in need of replacing soon. Just felt a little uneasy when trying to slide the chairs in once sat on.

    The restaurant is nice and modern. We ordered triple tower, which was something that we wanted to try and since it was three of us we thought it was a good option. Unfortunately, the oysters were not fresh and as soon as we start eating them, we realized they’re not fresh which caused two of us to get sick last night. We mentioned to the owner and he wanted to give us a discount, but it was not about the discount. It was about the fact that the oysters were not fresh. Just wanted to give everybody a heads up.
