    Good and fresh seafood. Server was slow to remove used plates; had to keep asking as the table was small for two people to hold used plates even having to stack them.

    You get a huge selection on seafood, meat, and carbs to choose from. From the food, drinks, and music, a very fun experience.

    Went for our 15 year anniversary a couple of months ago and experience was fantastic. Had some live music with a man and his guitar, wasn’t as nice as the big live black male band on our anniversary( go on a Thursday eve for that) singing all the Marvin Gaye and Stevie wonder + hits, but was enjoyable. Went again for Thanksgiving with 7 family members & restaurant did not disappoint. Spread was beautifully curated with a few more extras to highlight the Thanksgiving holiday. I think I had about 5 lobster tails 2 being the thermador. Crab was great but a bit spikey and hard to hold. Love that they had lamb chops, garlic mashed potatoes and fluffy Persian rice too. Surprised I was able to to enjoy some of their decadent desserts, as the bread pudding was delish along with the apple cinnamon roll. Everyone had such a good time that they were talking about returning next year with additional family members. So perhaps this will be a new tradition. Def recommend going here instead of shopping, cleaning, cooking and cleaning again.
