★★★★★ 5.0 Christina Byron · Sep 2025

Let me help you to the entrance door, its in the back of the building. Theres also parking behind the restaurant with a small bridge to prevent you from walking to Boston st. Once you make it in the restaurant is larger than it looks, dramatic ambiance is perfect for any occasion. The food, unbelievable delicious. If the crab is on the menu its a must. The old fashioned is crisp and order worthy too. Filet was also ordered, it came with potatoes that we thought were scallops. They are open on Mondays and for lunch Thur & Fri. Would recommend if in the area and looking for a nice restaurant to splurge a little.

Fabulous dinner with old HS friend. Everything was perfect! From the oyster appetizer, the spectacular bottle of wine, to the main entrees. Service is impeccable 🙏

★★★★★ 5.0 Charles Conti · Sep 2025

Our server was genuine and engaging looking after our every need. The food was prepared elegantly. The portions were good size and left us plenty for a second meal. The quality of the meat was phenomenal

★★★★★ 5.0 Juliette Thompson · Feb 2025

We had a 3 course lunch. Absolutely delicious! Every course was well presented and appropriately timed. Daniel our Service provider was excellent. Love the dress code! We’ve been to Desi Vegas and other restaurants similar to this and this one is the winner by far.

My husband surprise me with a lovely lunch here yesterday, and I could not be more impressed if I tried. From the seclusion of the back entrance to the lovely greeting host to our lovely waitstaff to the food—oh my goodness!!!! So good it was insanely delicious. -Margaret
