    Ribeye w/blue cheese special was delicious. Can’t beat the oyster prices during happy hour.

    Long wait after our reservation time. The food was okay but had to add steak sauce for additional flavoring. Not the best but also not the worst.

    Over all it was a good experience but they did not recognize our open table reservations and told us that they did not use open table. After I showed them my reservation on my phone they finally got us a table that was tight for six and had us carry our own chairs for the other two off the street. It was very tight but it was a cool vibe atmosphere.

    We were there for Happy hour and had a cutie table outside undercover. We ordered raw oysters which were the smallest I have ever seen!! So we switched to the baked varieties and were the same. All the apps were half price but you would need to order double what you normally would to satisfy. The Happy Hour pricing was great for apps and drinks but really disappointed in the oysters.

    We enjoyed our second visit to your restaurant. Christina N. our server was amazing. Professional, friendly and very attentive. Value for our dinner was great. Dinner for two fed three with leftovers. We enjoyed the 12 oz steak, smothered with pork chops. Sides mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, which was huge and delicious, perfectly cooked. We look forward to our next meal in 2026.
