My wife and I got a table fairly quickly without reservations on a Friday night. Service was superb - friendly, knowledgable and timely. We both ordered the Hong Kong-style steamed seabass as both our server Chad and on-line reviewers had described it as the outstanding dish on the menu. It did not disappoint. In fact, the incredibly tender, snow-white filet,... More

Loved everything I had here. Hubby and I shared the jumbo lump crab and avocado appetizer and the bone in ribeye and the stuffed shrimp entree. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Would definitely go again. More

We chose to sit in the main dining room vs. the bar area. The bar area was 'hopping"! The service was extremely attentive! It could not have been better without being invasive. I had tuna cooked to perfection- warmed, rare & seared. Beefsteak tomatoes and very fresh mozzarella. Crab fried rice. A nice dry French wine. My wife was not... More

First off, I'm a Bostonian and an executive chef, so I know sea food. The reservation was easy on opentable.com, including a phone call confirmation. Table was ready spot on time. You ill pass a very lively bar to get to the dining room. $5.00 specialty drinks for happy hour, makes this a must. The table was nicely set, the... More

My wife and I have been here at least 20 times on various occasions, from date nights to graduation celebrations to the kickoff of our wedding weekend dinner. We always visit because of a few, perfectly executed dishes. First, the bad: 1. As of recently, they revamped their menu, which was less pricey (e.g. the happy hour fare - Gulf... More
