Food was phenomenal as was the service. A little on the loud side close to the kitchen and made it difficult to have a conversation. But in terms of the food, it’s simply the best!

really good food, drinks are done perfectly, service is excellent. Lilly was my server and she was awesome, very attentive! Live music was the perfect touch and I stayed for nightlife and it was a perfect night. This is the spot to go to for sure. I had the lobster roll special that was recommended and it did not disappoint. 10/10.
