Caitlin LawlerJune 28, 2016Haven't eaten here yet, but had a nice time sitting out on the patio and getting drinks one late Saturday night. They have cute little fires you can sit around on comfy sofas and chairs- Great food, great location, and great service! Loved the fish & chips and my dining companions loved their soft shell crab and scallops and risotto.
DonnaJuly 6, 2015Still working out the kinks. Where do the new places in Old Town find all these servers who have never been to a bar or restaurant before??
- Anita LouiseApril 5, 2017Really enjoyed the crab cakes and the remoulade was DELICIOUS!! Our server Tilvia was phenomenal!
Ana RivasAugust 28, 2015What's good? The view, location, they need to improve food flavor, choices seem good, but what we tried wasn't what we expected in terms of flavor. Presentation was nice, I won't come back.
Kathy BansekApril 7, 2019Best tip: DON'T GO. The patio seating on a gorgeous day is inviting, but the service is terrible.
- DonnaAugust 2, 2015Did you see this place already got two health code violations? OMG. Just drink here.
Natasha KorowajczukMay 29, 2016The restaurant has an interesting ambience. The server was nice and willing to get us acquainted with the menu. The food is overpriced and the entrees were a bit bland. Up for a second chance though.- DonnaApril 28, 2016Check your bill. This place likes to add $5 to your total. Make sure the numbers add up.
BethJune 23, 2019Service sucked! Fried green tomatoes had 6 small pieces of crab for $18... and WAY TOO MUCH PAPRIKA! The scallops and shrimp risotto had NO flavor. Definitely wont be back!- Alex LinkeyAugust 21, 2021Service was horrible. I never leave reviews like this, please spend your money else where. We hardly saw our waiter & after I slipped on a spill & informed the staff about it the staff did nothing.
Jest MìJune 20, 2015Michael was the BEST thing in our miserable experience here. We waited so long for a server we had to CALL them to get service & NO MANAGER ever came to apologize to us. NEVER PATRONIZE THIS PLACE
Edith EshlemanOctober 13, 2018Service = good. kitchen left much to be desired. Ordered filet mignon medium. first one well done sent back, 2nd rare & 3rd correct. manager did comp meal and a round of cocktails. disappointed
Sarah WJuly 25, 2015Hated it. Much better food in old town. Service can more easily be fixed than quality of food. Food stinks.- Micah PJune 14, 2015Horrible service!! Wait a couple of months until they work out the kinks...Great crab dip
- Jest MìJune 20, 2015HORRIBLE SERVICE! Got seated outdoors at 5:00, 20 minutes later NO SERVICE AT ALL!!!!
