Thankfully, I take earplugs everywhere, but my mom doesn't and it was hard for us to have a conversation. The hostess was friendly, which was a pleasant surprise. Last time, all the hosts/hostesses were very rude. The food was great and service was really good until the end when we were trying to get our check even though he'd asked if we had something we needed to get to on time and we'd told him what it was. We made it on time, since we were close, but it was a bit annoying.

Riley went above and beyond to check on our table to make sure our food and cocktails were good. Mind you, he was working behind the bar. Josh was also working behind the bar and stopped by our table as well to check on us. It wasn’t exemplary service! The food was fantastic also. We’ll be back soon.

A tiny piece of Lobster atop a bowl of "Lobster Risotto" [sic]. All tasty but for the price point, not acceptable. We'll be back nonetheless.
