Nice place, great service, attentive wait staff but couldn't get past a $36 Strip. No NY strip is worth that cost. A Porterhouse would probably be $60.

We had lunch with a friend, at their suggestion, and it was just wonderful. I had the scallops, they were prepared perfectly and the wine superb. My husband had the hot pot and said it was one of the best meals he had ever had. Wish we lived in Hartford. Will be back if we pass through again.

Delicious seafood sampler platter. Good portions for the price tag. Service was top notch. The ONLY reason I cannot rate this one a 5 is because the shrimp on the sampler was way over cooked, and the vanilla infused sauce on the mussels was too sweet and the flavors were almost imitation. They very well may not have been, but tyat was my knee jerk feeling in them. Aside from that, it was too notch. Again, service was great!

We went there to celebrate our 33 rd anniversary, I mentioned it when we checked in for our reservation. We were greeted by our server who was the best server we've had in a long time. One of the manager's came over with a complementary sample offering. We enjoyed that very much and he rest of the night as well having everything from oysters to shrimp, mussels, lobster, paella and then dessert was creme brulee and chocolate beignet. We will definitely be going back there again!!
