    Awesome experience and better seafood than when we lived in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, with the best view of a city anywhere. Wonderful service, too. Thank you for such a memorable evening.

    If you are looking for an amazing meal with a view to boot, this is your place! Order all the appetizers and the crab cakes!!! Best crab cakes I’ve ever had! Our waitress was very sweet and helpful with the menu. The brussel sprouts were incredible, but too much for two people and a meal. Would highly recommended!

    James was an exceptional server/bartender/Sommelier/hostess! He gave perfect recommendations to pair with our starters and meals. The Norwegian Halibut was amazing! The evening was extremely special celebrating our dad’s birthday. It was sweet and memorable to have two daddy daughter dates as well. Molly also was so sweet! We will definitely come back! Thank you and Happy Holidays!

    Had a wonderful night! Service was great from start to finish. Renaud was an amazing server, very attentive and gave great recommendations. I have celiac and really appreciate them going the extra mile of making me gluten free bread and having plenty of gluten free options, including gluten free crab cake. A perfect celebration spot!
