   Our service was great as was the drinks. Our entrees were not. I had the 3 cheese ravioli and it was the chewiest pasta I think I’ve ever had. My husband got the steak and had to send it back for being cooked wrong, when he received it back the sides were cooled and the streak wasn’t cooked right again. We couldn’t return it as we had other plans and needed to leave. Super bummed as we heard a lot of great things.

   Parking in the area is limited and pay parking a block+ away is expensive. I did not feel safe walking to my car after dark. Food and service were good, but the restaurant could use an overall refresh.

   Absolutely wonderful, friendly, and attentive service! Food was enjoyable! Great mozzarella sticks (didn't love the red sauce but probably best sticks in RVA)! Outstanding crab cakes-fresh, crispy and full of flavor! Only concern was air conditioning-Easter Sunday- it was very warm. AC did not seem to be working.

   Had a wonderful experience today for lunch. We enjoyed the brunch menu of Crab cake Benedict and seafood omelette. The food was excellent and service on point, definitely plan to return.

    It was a busy Saturday night 4/19/25 around 5:30pm and the place was packed with A LOT of Prom dates. To start our table was so sticky we couldn't place our arms on the table. We made our server aware and they wiped it down a little more but it didn't improve the situation so we just decided to move on from that and place our napkins down on the table. Our server took awhile for the water glasses and then didn't come back for about 15 minutes to take our order. We order an appetizer and then our meals at the same time. We got our appetizer about 20 minutes later and it came out hot and fresh. Our meals then proceeded to come about 5 minutes later so we weren't able to enjoy or finish our appetizer. They need to work on the timing of the meals in order to enjoy and not feel rush throughout the meal. I have come here 5 times now and normally the service is very good and the food is worth the wait. I do feel that we were overlooked on this Saturday night due to all the Prom Dates that were in there at the time. This is a good restaurant and the food is good. I was just not happy with my experience on Saturday night and I brought a friend who had never been there and I don't think she liked the experience that she had.
