We dined on 4/21 and had a lovely time. The food was absolutely wonderful - crab cake, crab bisque, 8 oz filet, and lamb chops. Enjoyed the plantains at the start - a nice light treat and better than bread to start. The bread with the meal was enjoyable as well. The service was pretty good although we had to ask for our check when we were ready to leave and our waitress was talking to another table (she wasn't serving them at the time ... just in conversation). Love the ambiance and how it's not a large restaurant. Definitely will return!
