We were there to celebrate 4 birthdays, the waitress took her time to explain the menu to us and didn't feel rush to place our entree order. Overall, everything was excellent we will definitely go back.

Another memorable meal at this wonderful establishment. Pleasant servers (kudos to Ana), lagniappe of black eyed peas and cornbread to start the New Year, raw oysters so cold they almost hurt your teeth-plump and juicy, first try at beef carpaccio, and it was exquisite……..live trio playing diners requests was an added bonus.Thanks again, SS, for this lovely repas, our first of the new year!
