    Great food and service! Hush puppies are so yummy! Avo toast, burrata toast, cheeseboard, gulf shrimp, ahi poke - all stellar! Drinks were good too - I had the special that day with hibiscus - have forgotten the name. Our server was knowledgeable and steered me away from sweet drinks which I didn’t want..

    Greeted by the host who remembered us from last week! Delicious brunch - French toast and bacon and loaded omelette (large enough to feed three people). The Expresso Martini was to die for! We’ll continue to return to try more brunch dishes!

    We have been to many steak houses and I will say this was one of the best steaks we have had. This was our annual family Christmas Eve dinner and we were pleasantly surprised at the food. Since this is more Italian, wasn't sure what the steaks would be like. Has the calamari, artichoke, lobster ravioli and clam chowder as an appetizer and all were awesome. Staff was attentive and very good. Highly recommend for dinner. Thank you all and Merry Christmas
