    Stopped in for our first dinner here. Service was excellent! Food was delicious. I had the orange ginger salmon. Frantz had a bone in ribeye! To full for dessert

    Food was amazing. Jazz was disappointing. It’s less of a performance & more background music. They played for ~15 min then took a break. Check out the happy hour but don’t worry about missing the jazz

    Food is delicious. Try their Avocado Toast. Good attendance and excellent prices.

    Raw and grilled oysters were amazing. Can’t go wrong with anything on the happy hour menu. Perfect date night!

    Order drinks. If you see fruit on the bar menu, it means the fruit is freshly squeezed. No artificial crap. It’s really amazing!

    Would have been good...with less salt and without the chicken and chorizo like I had requested it. Waitress was apologetic and offered free dessert but when I refused it, didn't comp anything!

    The oysters and calamari were delicious. I also love the Bourbon Jack cocktail...although that's not what it's called.

    Stop by Trumpets Jazz Club just around the corner to hear some incredible live jazz by some of the world's greatest musicians.

    Pricey food, loud vibe, branzino was a bit bland for the price. Portions are big. Especially the shrimp cocktail.

    Nice place but our waitress gave us attitude when we asked her to repeat the specials.

    Oysters and more oysters! Deliciousness! Their paella rivals that of ones I had in Spain.

    Upstairs lounge is a scary combo of MSU kids and cheesy divorcees showing too much flubber. Run!!

    Good food, but felt a touch of discrimination, by the hostess. Was told the wait was 45 minutes, and upstairs lounge was full. Neither was true.

    The upstairs lounge is great, and they pour a nice size glass of wine.

    Also the owner is a bitch. If u don't like something u have to pay for it. You can't take it back.
