    Great service and great food! Highly recommend the Sunday fixed price 3 courses for $49. I can also recommend the lobster curry.

    $900 for 7 seems a little high, but we loved it!

    We were seated in the upstairs area despite having made a reservation a few days prior. The vibe upstairs was entirely different- sparse tables, less dark, empty bar, but with the bass of the music reverberating through the floors. Service was very slow- there was one server who serviced all the tables upstairs but left for long periods at a time. We were immediately turned off by the ambiance and decided to switch plans from having dinner to just having oysters, fries, and drinks. The fries alone took 30 minutes to come out. Would not recommend for dinner- only for downstairs bar seating.

    Fresh seafood prepared just right. It's very difficult to cook fish just right, just a few seconds more and it's overcooked, not here. My Chinese wife is very particular about this and she wants to come back.

    The lady at the front desk greeted to swarm me and took us to our table, we were greeted by our table server. It was amazing and the manager Carlos came over and said hello and runs a great restaurant. The food was delicious and if you can make a happy hour, the prices are amazing. We love this place and we love the people that serve and help because they’re marvelous.

    From the hostess’s greeting, to the attentive service, good consistent food, and the manager checking in during our meal, this continues to be one of my neighborhood go tos and if I’ve got someone coming to the neighborhood looking for something new it’s always a hit with them.
