Great environment, great service and great food. I can't even knock them down a star for not offering a military discount. I truly enjoyed my visit here.

Very good seafood and large choices of raw seafood. Good atmosphere and very nice location. Service needs some improvement for the price you pay. Total cost of the food below $240 with tip

I have a policy that if a restaurant serves cioppino on the menu I order it. This place is making me reconsider said policy. Just not good at all.On the positive side, we sat at the bar, as we always do, and I would consider Kim to be the best bartenders we've ever had if I didn't think it would hurt the feelings of folks we know at our favorite haunts back home. She was FANTASTIC. No overstatement.And my wife absolutely loved her oysters and brussel sprouts so maybe I just need to order something else next time.And it's a lovely place to be.

Excellent seafood restaurant in the heart of the Gas Lamp Quarter. Ate here one night and then came back again a few nights later for more!Both times I sat at the bar. The Oysters are excellent, clean and tasty. Also had the Tuna and Crab Cake. For the main course, Salmon.Very good bar service, nice beer selection and cocktails too.If you’re in the area, highly recommend. Will not disappoint.

The food is very delicious and high quality with a price tag to match. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly, but the service and/or policies were not adequate.The person dining with me did not want the vegetable medley that came with his dish and asked if you could be replaced with mashed potatoes. The waiter, in a professional manner, told him it was not possible and gave various excuses for not honoring his request.It was never offered to pay an upcharge or any other similar resolution. For a restaurant of this caliber, it seemed to be a rudimentary request, one which lesser restaurants handle with ease and grace. I was dumbfounded that such a simple request could not be granted.If it were not for the refusal to substitute the side item, this restaurant would have had five stars in my review.

Restaurant Info

You want to eat here! We stopped in on St Patricks weekend. The streets were packed, so they supplied the show! Great location right on a busy corner and the windows open ao you enjoy the local vibe. The restaurant is really designed well and the decor is very pleasant.Adrian was our server, and if you can get her you will have a great evening! She is awesome. Knowledgeable, attentive and fun. My wife had the sushi roll and thoroughly enjoyed it. Adrian went through the menu for us and I opted for the Dover Sole. It was delectable. She also suggested the mashed potatoes and carrots for sides. Trust me you want both.Caution, they serve the best bread ever and you might be lulled in to eating too much of it, so pace yourself.The ambience, the food and the service it was great.
