Very fun experience! The dessert was my favorite part! Everything was delicious and the atmosphere is amazing! The crab cakes weren’t my personal favorite but my mom loved them! Will definitely be back.

I was super excited to try this place. I went yesterday 1/15/26 for restaurant week. I knew they would be busy so I made reservations. They allowed me to make a reservation at 9pm and that was the exact time they closed. I called and they said they would be accommodating and if I wanted to come a little early that would be fine too. I showed up at 830pm. Upon arrival I waited for a while until I found my party. As I sat down there was a restaurant week menu and nothing else. So you are "forced" to eat what they have available. Once our waitress came to the table I enquired about other menu items and she simple said no because they cook the food in big batches. Also you cant modify anything. It took about 20 minutes to get our batch food and you could most definitely tell they food had be

We love this place! We came here for restaurant week and enjoyed every bite! I had the crab cake, the bisque, the salmon and the upsidedown cake. Crab cake was perfect with just a little bite to it! The crab bisque was great and hearty and warm on a cold day like today! So it hit the spot. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the broth or sauce if you will on. It was light but flavorful and pit just the right spots. Overall it was a phenomenal experience and all the food was really great. The dessert was a red velvet pineapple upside down cake and it was the exact right temperature and exact right consistency. The flavors all hit like they were supposed to little touches of blueberry and powdered sugar. Just made it all nice. The presentation of everything was spectacular and gave it a real

Tried this place for restaurant week. They were obviously not prepared for restaurant week. To me it seemed that they overbooked everything. They had a $65 4 course dinner menu. Horrible service. Had a reservation for 7:30 but did not sit at a table until 8:30. Sat at the table for 30 minutes before we even ordered our food. Our waiter said to us as we sat down that she was going to handle our drinks due to us waiting for such a long time but when we got the bill she had included the drinks. She then tried to say that she did not say that but then remembered what she said and took the drinks off. The portions were horrible for the price we paid. Food was cold at times and took forever to come out. The butternut squash bisque was cold. My friend had to reorder and all they did was warm it u

We went last night for restaurant week and WOW is all I can say! Our server Terry was a ray of sunshine on a dreary winter evening . She was helpful and friendly. The food was amazing. I had the jerk bao bun to start and the bao was steamed PERFECTLY! It was soft and fluffy with a subtle heat. The winter salad was dressed perfectly with beautifully roasted beets. The absolute star of the show was the braised short ribs. Everything about this dish was perfect. We will absolutely be returning.
