It had been awhile since we dined here as we live a bit of a drive across the river. We were celebrating our anniversary and decided to do a late lunch with plans for Holy Thursday mass later. This worked out well being in between busy times allowing for a nice leisurely dining experience. The King Crab was excellent. Our server suggested the house salad to share and we enjoyed excellent wine by the glass. We also received a complementary generous slice of chocolate cake. Can't wait to return again!

Would recommend sandwiches: ribeye and hamburger were excellent! Shrimp and chicken dinners were overcooked and lacked flavor. Waitress and bartender were excellent! Large glass of wine was greatly appreciated! We’ll definitely go back for house-made dessert’. .

I am a platinum rewards member, so it was “all you can eat shrimp” weekend. The food was really delicious. I only ate once, but my husband ate plenty. The service was great, the drinks were good, and the food was seasoned well. We will be back soon.
