The hostess said it would be a few minutes to get us a table, we requested to be in the room by the door, it was empty, she seemed surprised, and seated us immediately. It was nice, quiet, and didnât seem as crowded as the main dining area. We started with oysters on the half shell, then we decided to be brave and try the roasted bone marrow, it was surprisingly good, with the jam, sea salt and lemon. We thought those were our appetizers, so we then ordered our Main Dishes, we thought we would share. We ordered the Octopus and the Ahi Tuna. We were surprised when only the octopus came out in a small bowl, we shared and enjoyed it. Then came the Ahi Tuna again on a small bowl. It too was very tasty. We hadnât realized we were ordering topas.. Our server was very nice and extremely helpful and knowledgeable about all the dishes and cocktails. We tried several cocktails while we were there as well. All in all it was a really nice interesting meal, with all the small servings, itâs easy to leave and still be hungry. But the food is very good.. And I would opt to sit in the room to the side, itâs much quieter, and they donât seem to put you there unless you ask..

Iâve heard great thing about this restaurant and finally had the opportunity to go there. Family run and it shows. The service was impeccable, everybody knows everyone and I felt like they knew me too. Food was excellent, had the ribeye. Baked clams for appetizer. Prices are very reasonable, great ambiance.

This is really good fresh seafood. There is nothing extra special about the interior of this restaurant, but the food is quality beyond what I expected. Sometimes seafood is thickly coated in batter and greasy. Thats not the case here. Lightly breaded. They seem to do a big carry out business too.

Now I know oysters taste like whatever they are dipped in. I don't know what the fuss is about. (12 for $15 with a nice presentation). My meal was very good. Lake Superior whitefish, grilled with garlic glaze. $22 for enough to bring home half. It came with crusty zucchini sticks which were delicious, though I should not have eaten the breading. Couldn't help myself. The servers were very attentive and accurate. The place was sparcely populated on a Thursday evening, so it was quite enough to convere. My husband was not as impressed with his swordfish ($29), saying "fish in Florida" is better. He didn't leave a bite, however, and loved the smashed potatoes.

Well we have eaten here before and had wonderful service. I had gotten free Bang Bang shrimp for my birthday. Our waitress took our order of which we were both ordering food besides this. Someone delivered the Bang Bang Shrimp and said, "Who is having this as their meal?" Neither of us were and she put it down on the table. We didn't get plates or napkins. I had to go to another table to get them. We noticed that the other tables were all getting bread with their Bang Bang Shrimp or meals. We didn't get any or were offered any. We sat a long time waiting for everything. We did notice a wonderful waiter who was taking the time to explain the menu and just giving fantastic service, suggestions and bread. We waited a very long time for the bill. We would have had a totally different experience with the right server. I did send a message to them, but I did not hear back. I have two gift cards to use there. She never offered us drinks and when she gave us the bill, I asked her if they still had the delicious Sangaria of which she said yes. I hope for a better experience next time.
