    The food & service was wonderful as always. We come. Here 2-3 times out of a year for special celebrations and it never disappoints. The only downside this time was the table across from us was filming content using ring lights and lots of flash that was very disturbing to the ambiance and our overall evening experience.

    We were sat immediately for our 6:30 Christmas night reservation. Oyster sampler appetizer was fresh and tasty served with horseradish, mignonette,and cocktail sauce. Generous crab stuffing on grilled shrimp for me and delicious lobster sauce on the lobster stuffed sea bass special for my husband. Beautifully decorated for the holidays with a photo worthy waterfall in their side room. Our server did not rush us and was perfectly attentive. Overall we had a lovely dinner and will definitely be back
