This is perhaps the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. It is a high end place but the value for the quality is excellent. The food was outstanding from the warm biscuits to the fabulous lobster dumplings to the Pompano fish to the bread pudding dessert. All four of us raved about our meals. The servers were wonderful. The noise level was pretty high. One server did put the entre and the dessert in front if the wrong person but that's the only possible criticism I can offer. This was an amazing dining experience.

Outstanding food and service. Terrance, our waiter was very attentive and made excellent meal recommendations! We loved our cocktails (Old Fashioned), appetizers (Oysters), entrees (fish and pork chop) and dessert (bread pudding). Great ambulance with a lively and at times noisy atmosphere!
