Food, drinks, and service were top notch! There were four of us and we has oysters and octopus for appetizers. Oysters were excellent! Seafood trio of lobster tail, tuna, and scallops on a bed of risotto was superb. The key lime pie for dessert is a must! Staff were very professional and had great recommendations! Would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon.

Raj & Tyler both took care of us. Raj was someone who creates experiences. His responses were always “ I’ll make that happen for you”, “ absolutely”, “I guarantee you will love it” , etc. We started with a dozen oysters- the cucumber mignonette was incredible. My wife said “ I wish you had lobster bisque” Raj’s reply “ I’ll make that happen for you”. It was the best lobster bisque we’ve ever had. Entree’s- we shared a 16oz Smoked Ribeye, Lobster Tail, Potatoes & Crab Risotto.
Smoked Old Fashioned & Pistachio Espresso Martini-WOW!! Top 2 dining experience in my 60 yr life!
