                                                  Jamie was our server; knew when and what we needed before we even asked. I appreciate the recommendations and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. The Shrimp Cocktail has 12 shrimp, and the piece of Fish with the Fish and Chips was so big my wife and I didn’t eat it all. Best Fish and Chips I’ve ever had. The filet was attached to the breading and was clean and white through and through! I recommend this restaurant!

Normally you expect unexciting sides, but they were so good we asked the waitress how were prepared. I would recommend a stop here.

                                                  they took reservations even though closing for a private party that night. they were vacuuming around while we were eating. could not even have dessert. spent over $300 for that experience. the food us all shareable. very slim dinner selection. horrible night out.

                                                  Food was okay, service was okay, we were outside, which was okay, 2 of the 4 plastic chairs were covered in bird poo so some rearranging was required before we sat. Our waitress was very nice but pretty scarce. The Oysters Rockefeller was very dry and just meh tasting. The fish and chips was okay. If you don't like real greasy battered fish you might prefer this. It was more like the corn batter on a corn dog. The fish itself was not bad and the fries were good. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place to anyone so it has maybe moved away from the eatery it used to be?

                                                  Amazing oysters rockafella, so much so we went back 2 days running! Choice of beverages was poor which is a shame as you need a good glass of dry white wine to wash down oysters.
