A couple of us had the crab cakes and they were delicious and full of yummy crab. Those who had the fish special and steak were delighted with their meals as well. We were too full to even consider dessert. Archie was our server and he did a fantastic job. Overall it was a wonderful night out

If you're looking for a great dining experience with top-notch service, this place might still be worth considering, just don’t expect the food to match the price tag. This is our second time eating from here, while the service was exceptional — the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome — the food didn’t quite live up to the high prices.
