    The appetizers were by far the best part of our meal. If it wasn’t such a nice restaurant I would have picked up the plates and licked them clean! We were a little upset that the 2 dishes that we were looking forward to the most based off reviews and pictures were no longer available or out of stock. The fried fish that we wanted is no longer available even though it is pictured on the walls in the restaurant. We were also excited to try the angry lobster but they said they were out of stock. As far as the ambiance it was good for a bit but then the music shut off and the rest of the night had a weird awkward silence like they were closed and waiting for us to leave. Not sure why they turned off the music. On the other hand the staff was very friendly and fun to talk to. All that being said, I’d call before going in to see if the dish you want is even available before going. Besides that I’ll probably be coming back here but I think we’ll stick to the appetizers and drinks because they were so delicious compared to the main dishes we ordered.

    The food and atmosphere is very good, it definitely comes at a price though. Service could have been a little quicker.

    Food was great but does not come out as one order. Drinks came out half way through the meal. Next time i would wait on food order until you receive your drinks.

    Confusing menu. No mention on line menu that it was designed to share and that food came out as available. Food was good. Nothing special.
