    The food was amazing. I had the squid ink with shrimp and my husband had the Berger. We also had oysters and clams from the raw bar. It was all delicious and better than expected. We’d love to come back.

    A four PM reservation should not be told up front that we need to clear out by six. I chalk that up to hospitality inexperience.

    Place is cute however portions are TINY and prices are super expensive. Wanted a nice meal before a show at The Beacon- and regret it wholeheartedly. What a rip off. The swordfish that was over $40 were 2 tiny pieces on a plate with some greens. Pathetic. Lobster roll had no flavor and tasted like it had been sitting in water. Jonah crab claws were not cracked enough so you couldn’t get to the meat and they were tiny. I seldom write reviews but this was really a complete rip off. Buyer beware. Super disapointed .

    Our server was very nice. My friend and I loved our entrees and my affogato was delicious. We were in a bit of a hurry and everything came out quickly and we made it to our show in plenty of time.

    Back corner a little cold against the window and the Brussels sprouts were really soggy and disappointing, but all else very good.

    The food menu has been scaled down, but there's still a good selection of fresh oysters. The branzino was tasty, but my oyster sliders, and the lobster roll with fries, were lackluster and bland.
