Customer Reviews
First time visiting and it didn’t disappoint! The staff was super friendly, and the service was excellent from start to finish. As soon as we were seated, they served bread, butter, and water — a nice touch. They have a variety of drinks to choose from: whisky, wine, sodas, etc..: The food was amazing! Their lobster bisque is super good. I had the mixed platter with fried fish, shrimp, and fries. Everything was perfectly cooked, and the scallops were incredibly soft and flavorful. For dessert, we tried the chocolate mousse cake and their apple crisp (I don’t remember the exact names 🤣), but both were incredible. Definitely coming back — great experience all around!
Josie was amazing. I have visited her many times and I tell you she made this last visit exceptional. She knew what I needed before I even asked. If I could give more stars I would. Food was great…atmosphere was comforting … relaxing which I so needed right now. !! Thank you for making this another great experience.
Came here from a reccomendation and it did not dissapoint. Really cool atmosphere and extremely professional servers. That being said, definitely comes with cost. We started out with the grilled octopus which was cooked perfectly. I wasnt a fan of the sauce and beans but everything else was solid. I also got the oyster sampler which was great. They had them all aranged in order so you knew which was which and all of them had very distinct tastes. The card was spot on for the flavor. I ended up ordering 6 more of the ones i liked as well as the scallop ceviche which was fantastic and fresh. My friend ordered the jerk mahi mahi even though he normally doesnt like fish and he absolutely loved it. I ordered the lobster bisque as well which was so rich and tasty. Overall this was a solid place,
One of the classiest restaurants but still affordable. I like the settings of commodity. Not like some restaurants that have wooden chairs and tables in the middle of the room. It was comfortable and enjoyable. They have separate room for occasional use that can fit about 25 people. Menus of two variety. And I love dessert menus. Stuff is very nice and assisting. They're patient in explaining your needs professionally. Love outside sitting as well.I would recommend this place to people to give a shot. Parking is little tough to find but manageable.
Great place to dine! The food was amazing and the oysters were so fresh! Only little mishap was trying to seat us next to the front door when we had reservations for a birthday dinner, we had to ask twice but they finally moved us to a better location where we could enjoy our dinner. Would definitely dine here again!
