We ate the most delicious scallops we've ever had! The entrees do not include any sides, in fact, there are no sides offered on the menu except for lobster macaroni (though it's served as an entree itself). It was strange to not have vegetables to choose from but the cornbread made up for it. The food tasted excellent (shrimp, oysters, snow crab, kids menu and ice cream). Please add a changing table and turn the music down to accommodate any young patrons.

We arrived early but were not allowed to be seated til our entire party arrived. Menu selection was great as usual and food was delicious. Our server was very friendly but we had to remind her 2x for drink refills. Other than that we enjoyed our brunch :)
