    food good... service rushed... apparently eager to close the restaurant early, so it cut short visiting at the table.

    Our favorite place for gatherings with friends for great food and service. Ashley, as always, a super server and the best at recommendations. The best oysters any way and the fried chicken livers, but anything on the menu is great.

    Sat at the Chef’s Table and had a wonderful show while eating. Had a great time chatting with Emily, one of the owners, as well. Great Mothers Day meal for my wife.
