peter McDevittJuly 26, 2015Lots of regulars. A reflection of the wonderful service and great food. I had Filet Mignon (I know, it's a seafood place) and it was sensational. And, the onion rings; oh damn! GreatUpvote2Downvote
Every First Friday, world-flavored jazz from Puzzle of Light, one of the best bands in Dayton, and an exclusive small plate menu--great prices, BIG portions. Make reservations or crowd in and wait!Upvote2Downvote- Jerrold BeamonMay 30, 2015I had steak and lobster. It's was great and I had the mussels for my appetizers. The staff was wonderful.Upvote1Downvote
Anne ElsonAugust 12, 2014Waiting for Carol and Bob Livingston to join us for dinner. It's been a good day. We just came from the Dayton Art Institute and saw an exhibit on American glassware.UpvoteDownvote
Kelsey RadcliffeAugust 27, 2015The seafood here is good, probably the best you'll get around here BUT the portions are small, the waitstaff is condescending, the dessert is not worth it and they don't cater to people with allergiesUpvoteDownvote
Annie MagzApril 9, 2013Ask for a VIP card. They keep track of how much you spend whenever you eat there , and when you get to $500 they send you a $40 gift cardUpvoteDownvote
