    I've found the quality of mussels to have slightly declined, while pricing has increased. Please bring back the Mussels Mania- there was barely anyone in there on Monday for lunch. I used to dine almost monthly for the Mussels Mania at lunch or dinner with my work crew or friends. It got me in the door because it was a good deal. Now, I may come in a few times a year.

    Amazing mussels in a variety of sauces. Thai & Lobster flavors were delicious. Escargot & French Onion soup to start along with a flavorful salad to start also hit the spot. If you aren’t into mussels & like curry, try the Shrimp curry. No room for dessert but the menu selection looked really good.

    It was strange we were all packed in back room yet so many open tables up front. The noise level was out of control.

    The restaurant is wonderful but the music is too loud to have any conversation with tour dining companions. It is so loud it becomes a distraction and takes away from the dining experience.
