Overall, this place was great! They give you cornbread when you sit and it's awesome, came out warm and perfectly cooked.

I was there for lunch on a very busy weekend, sat at the bar, had lovely oysters served very fresh and one if the better martinis I've had. The bar staff were slammed but friendly and paid attention to everyone. I'd come back in a heartbeat.

I called a couple days ahead for reservations and when I got there they didn't have it. Instead of getting the run around they sat us right away. The service was excellent and the food was oustanding. I can't remember the last time I had a better meal.
