This my favorite local restaurant however tonight the food was off. The scallops special was just ok and the shrimp scampi was just ok. My husband had the crab Louie and while there was a lot of crab the presentation was really lacking. It would have been better to add some tomato and hard boiled egg slices for color AND just to have. We will be back though. I still love this restaurant.

The service was excellent! The waitress gave us space as we had to finish a tough call. After our meal, the waitress brought out a dessert because of our hard day. It was extremely thoughtful and kind!

All great EXCEPT it's really noisy! Four of us and without any hearing issues and it was hard to hear the other couple with us! They could add table cloths or other tricks to help absorb the sound. A certain noise level is a nice vibe, but not when you have to yell across the table to hear each other.
