    The food is still good, but over time since the opening, it feels like the quality has slightly declined. The service was a bit too much — I was there with a friend, just wanting to enjoy some light appetizers and cocktails, but the waiter kept checking on us every 10–15 minutes, which got annoying.

    hoping that everything is just a growing pain. Service started out iffy. We waited almost 20 minutes before someone came to ask us if we wanted water or anything to drink and then when we were offered still water and said yes to still, turns out it was bottled. I’d expect to be duped with bottled water over tap water in the city, but not in West Chester. Attentiveness improved as the meal went on at least. We ordered the potato chips with dip and the dip was absolutely horrendous. My husband’s $36 wedge salad with a piece of salmon was a gloppy mess. The Caesar salad was not really what I would call Caesar, but my son enjoyed it. I ordered the bass special. The piece of fish was cooked well but it was overpowered by the spicy curry sauce, and they forgot to include the potatoes, which were the second item in the description of the dish. They rectified the situation by bringing me out some roast potatoes after I had finished all but two bites of my meal. The bananas foster dessert was a gloppy sugary syrupy mess. I had ordered decaf coffee with dessert and that came out lukewarm after dessert was already finished. We won’t be going back, but I hope for their sake that this restaurant improves. The ambiance was OK. It wasn’t overly noisy and it was nicely decorated but putting a large bar right in the middle of the dining room with TVs playing sports does ruin the ambiance

    Food and cocktails were excellent! Highly recommend the chilled seafood tower. The marinated seafood cocktail was delicious! Enjoyed the Ahi Tuna special with soba noodles and that was outstanding. Everything was very fresh.

    My husband and I decided to book for Easter Dinner. The apps were Great. I had the cold crab cocktail and he had the oysters. The main course was okay, My husband ordered the Tuna over the noodles and I had the scallops. After receiving our food, My husband asked to wasabi for the Tuna, The waitress stated that they don't have wasabi - HMM if this is supposed to be a seafood Place, they should have wasabi. My scallops were very Good. What we didn't like was the man yelling and screaming across the Bar while we were trying to eat dinner. It was obvious that he was drunk but yet the bartenders still served him.. This isn't a typical bar, Its an upscale place so that was a bit of a shock.. overall a 3 star

    Great vibe in this new WC spot! Appetizers are plentiful and seafood is the story here. Our baked oysters app were not hot, otherwise this was five stars.

    Pretty decor, service was friendly, but not very attentive. The food was average. Our party felt that it seemed like it was a chain restaurant. The lobster appetizer was the smallest I’ve ever seen anywhere. Just a few bites. . Drinks were extremely slow coming from the bar. Food was very salty overall.
