    We had a reservation for 5:45 before a show at the Palace Theatre. They were really busy, and couldn’t see us until 6:00 which made us very nervous. However, our server was attentive, and assured us that we would be out in plenty of time for the show. The food was delicious. A great place!

    The flat iron steak was perfect. We asked for it medium rare to medium and it was perfect. It could have used a few more pieces of asparagus.

    Tuesday is $1 shrimp and oysters so that was an amazing start to the meal. Love their kale salad with salmon and they did not disappoint! Also had a slice of the traditional pizza with pepperoni and sausage and enjoyed that as well. It was pretty loud in there but it didn’t bother my group. Service was great!

    Slow service. Food, drinks, and everything was great overall - things just took a really long time to get to our table.
