    Entrees were perfect, oysters natural and mussels, the Caesar salad was divine ! The steaks were the big disappointment… We originally went there for a good steak but the rib eyes were tiny and arrived cold and very over cooked! The peppercorn sauce was so peppery it was overpowering and felt like eating a mouthful of ants. The service was ok and the waiters attentive. Overall it wasn’t worth the money though, disappointing and wouldn’t go back.
