What a great day, yesterday. We walked in - the middle of rush hour with 9 people and were seated, served and satisfied in record time. There was barely a morsel left.

Really good food and service. Fish and chips were good and the Roasted Lobster with Beurre Blanc sauce was super.

We ordered and my order was wrong, my husband's crab cakes were 3 tiny cakes, and he got the peel and eat shrimp... he was pretty much done with his food before mine came back out.
