Came here for date night and it was great. The place is open and spacious. Energetic vibe. Nice staff. Clean. Options to eat outside, at the bar or in dining area. My only complaint is the tables are small so when you get your food and drinks you def have to make it work for space. Other than that the place is good. The drinks are creative and tasty they definitely don't go light w the alcohol. Drinks definitely sneak up on you. You get your monies worth! The food is delicious! Quick service! I'd definitely recommend this spot. We'll be back.

Portions are extremely small. And you are force to pay 20% after 5pm. We got bill 44$ on tip only for 2 people! It was a Birthday celebration and is toooo much. For a waitress that wasn’t even there and they burned my salmon twice! (So ironic in a Grill place) Also the dessert was supposing to be complimentary for the Birthday and we were bill for it and it was a dessert that dont even like! Yes they bill it!

We don't dine this fancy very often so there are often things that surprise us.

At most restaurants they include 2 sides with your meal, this is an exception where sides will cost you.

The portions tend to be small and not very filling for the amount you pay, for this reason a few members of our group went to the fish market just around the corner for extra food.

Atmosphere and servers are great, I think this is a great date night spot!!

Elegant super service. The servers and managers manage the deliveries like a war game and victory is the only game. The food is excellent. The express menu for 29 dollars is a good deal. The grapefruit drink was a nice non alcoholic drink. The place is large and cold indoors. Excellent on a hot day. They have outdoor seating as well. Lots of birthday parties and lots of families. Children’s menu is good too including skirt steak. Ice cream flavors were good including a seasonal peach ice cream. No chocolate flavor which is odd. The place serves cocktails and wine. It’s a great place for anyone and everyone.

This establishment provided a good break in my day to chill and have a quick snack & drink. I sat at the bar because there was a wait for a table.

The food hit the spot, although I think the service could be better. There was a bit of a wait for refills and to ask for additional condiments, after my food was delivered. I think this has something to do with the 20% gratuity that already added to the bill.

I think I could return here again but my expectations will be adjusted and I'll order everything in the beginning.

Great lunch spot! With a good selection menu! I got the surf and turf and it was nicely done. It comes with a fillet, 2 grilled shrimp, and a mini lobster roll. It was plentiful and very good.

My friend got the salmon with a Caesar salad. It was a large portion.

Ambiance was nice and they have lots of seating! We showed up on a whim for lunch without a reservation and we sat down right away (on a Friday)!

4/5 because we did have to send a steak back but we would do 4.5 if we could.

Justin was our server. Very sweet and super knowledgeable. All his recommendations were amazing! He was within my vision 90% of the time and very easy to talk to when we had an issue. Ask him for his drink recommendations for sure! When he said the licorice flavor of one was cut nicely by citrus he MEANT IT and I don't have any complaints!

The food was great, lots of surprising mixes and flavors! The steak was tender and juicy but needed a little salt to be perfect. The seasonal chopped salad was amazing and there were different flavors in every bite and in the BEST WAY. I got it with skirt steak and it was great.

The devilled eggs were a bit too rich for me but the single one I had was definitely a positive experience. The oysters were absolutely DELIGHTFUL!!! Lamb skewers we great with the tzatziki sauce and they weren't too filling as an app so you still have room for the main course.

Overall the decor and staff were amazing and it was a great date night for us 🤗

The food is just absolutely amazing! Completely forgot to take pics of some of the food like the branzino, which was seasoned and cooked perfectly! Also, loved loved loved the stamp of the restaurant's name on the ice cube that came with my bourbon. I just love when restaurants add a nice touch to their drinks.
