   The food was mediocre definitely not the best seafood experience. The ambiance was beautiful. Our waitress was nice but not very attentive.

   This was our second visit, and once again it did not disappoint. From the fresh oysters to the perfectly cooked seafood mains, the quality and vibe were on point. But the real reason I’m writing this review is to acknowledge our server, William, who we were lucky enough to have both times. William is the kind of server who makes you feel like you're a regular, even if it's just your second time in. Friendly, attentive, and cool under pressure, he kept the mood just right throughout the evening. We’ll definitely be back — and hoping for a table in William’s section again.

   Great mid Atlantic food w a solid mix of options for every preference. Crab starters were delish. Cocktails and beer/wine selection is amazing.

   Our server, Jon S., was wonderful! Jon was friendly, attentive and made out group birthday celebration special. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks.

   As with most restaurants the food and service varies over time. I hope we just hit them on a bad day because the shine it used to have may be wearing off.

   Lenny the GM is amazing. The entire staff was great but Lenny played with our daughter through dinner and found her the perfect dessert.

   The local oysters were good. We got them during happy hour and saved $.50 per oyster. The lobster roll was really good as well.

    Our waiter, Joe, was phenomenal! He answered all of our questions and it’s always great to see him in the back patio.
