The restaurant was definitely overrated. The oysters were just so so. The remaining dishes were good, but not stellar. Menu choices EXTREMELY limited. We were informed that new ownership just came on board. Will possibly visit again if menu is updated.

                                                                                  Is this helpful?

The food was well executed, textures, presentation, flavors, but the service was absolutely horrible from the get go. Hard to get an initial greeting and drink order, our waitress doesn't drink so had no clue on a basic martini order. I can't fault her, it's not spending time training their staff properly. She never checked it see if our meals were ok and waited until halfway through our meal for our glass of wine to be delivered , It doesn't matter how good the food is, if the service and timing is off, Im not inclined to return.

The hallmark for this restaurant is its consistency in the quality of the food and the quality of the service. This past outing, we ordered a selection of oysters that were absolutely fresh and delicious. For entrees, I ordered a halibut special which was absolutely amazing. Light and delicious yet filling. My son ordered the burger and fries and there wasn't a bite left on his plate in very short order. The jalapeno infused martini with bleu cheese olives is another standout on the menu.
