    I wish I could have given the food 10 stars. This meal was in competition with AKB for my number one meal during this trip. Everything was amazing. From the lump crab cake to the bacon wrapped shrimp over spinach to the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp. It was so flavorful and delicious. The waiter recommended the brownie a la mode. It was perfect and so fresh! This is worth another visit on my return to the city.

    Absolutely fantastic food, matched by immaculate service. Attentive, brilliant with recommendations, professional, but warm. The frutti di mare and the bass were, in a word, divine. As was everything else. Cannot WAIT to bring more folks here.
