Excellent food. Got the hanger steak, lobster spaghetti, oysters & some other things. All worth it. For the quality, not very expensive, would definitely recommend. The restaurant can be a tad crowded & you're just a smidge too close to neighbors, but it is what it is! For the food, it's worth it. Ps: ask for the bacon on the side or no bacon in lobster sphaghetti, salty enough as is & best to have it added on to your own liking.

I have to agree with the other reviews. It's unfortunately overhyped. Yes, the staff is impeccable. Super attentive, friendly, quick & the water glass is always full. The food was good but WAY too overpriced. You pay for high end fine dining & get family restaurant. It's very loud & buzzy in there.
