    This place was more than amazing, I celebrated my friends birthday and it was perfect from the food to the service. I ordered the crab claws & cajun pasta and it was a 10/10. The restaurant had a really nice ambiance and aesthetically pleasing as a great place to take cute pictures. We also had a giant teddy bear at our table that was the highlight of my friend’s night.

    Alenxander was an amazing server, and we appreciate how attentive he was. The atmosphere was pleasant, and we enjoyed our food. The filet seems a bit overpriced, but we enjoyed our food overall.

    Lemon Drop Martini’s are a MUST HAVE! Oysters are amazing! Burgers are top notch! We love the ambience, but Christmas was definitely HOPPING, so the noise level was a little more than normal, but it was a festive and fun, so not loud in a bad way. Great place anytime, but highly recommend for special occasions. Love the Lakewood location.
