Sophisticated coastal cuisine in a modern, romantic but industrial ambiance. We had a wonderful…read moretime settled at the bar with Kyle taking exceptional care of us. He had a great recommendation of the Malbec (Zuccardi) wine, which we were given a huge glass of. Would go back just for that wine. Best bite of the night was truly the Rockefeller Oysters, which come with a fresh biscuit but Kyle made sure I had the saltines I really love with them. Those were *eyes roll back in your head* REALLY good, especially for the quality of the cheese. Second best was the Blue crab pasta, which used local crab, but I think average flavor overall. Great portion and loved the capers but, didn't get the depth I expected from shallot and white wine sauce. I wouldn't get the salmon gyros again, even as creative that combo sounds the salmon was overwhelmingly not fresh and there wasn't enough tzatziki to cover it up. We loved the toasted naan and fries. Kyle told us the staff loves to get the salmon gyro but with fried chicken instead, I may try that next time. Overall a fabulously efficient and positive vibe from every staff member I interacted with, could certainly come back and eat another dozen oysters.

Great atmosphere. Such a yummy menu. We ordered the labneh dip, which was huge! The serving was so…read moreworth the price and could've fed 4, but of course 2 of us were able to wipe it out LOL. Fun and happy servers who were checking in on us, very helpful. The oyster selection was awesome as well! Loved the flavoring and brine of the top choice one on the menu, and also the price was fantastic. Will definitely return here. Was told it backs out on the weeknights and weekends! Would definitely recommend.

I got the 8oz filet with a side of bone marrow, and boy was that an excellent choice! it was cooked perfectly! Needless to say everyone enjoyed the entire meal. The service was impeccable. Very sweet and attentive! The atmosphere with the low light, candle lit tables and good tunes was a whole vibe. If you are looking for a nice dinner that makes the whole family happy, I would definitely check out this place!!

When we've come with friends or larger groups, the service has been much more mediocre. The first time we visited, one of the waitresses was surprisingly rude when I asked about vegetarian options. All she said was "salad," despite there being multiple salads (2 out of the 3) on the menu, including a Caesar with anchovy and a wedge salad with bacon. Thankfully, another staff member stepped in and was much more helpful and respectful. I'm not sure why vegetarian requests are sometimes treated like an inconvenience or unusual concept. I'm married to a huge meat eater and enjoy going to places he likes, but I do wish vegetarian guests were met with a little more patience and understanding. Especially when I am the one paying the bill. The atmosphere is loud and busy, but they are generally accommodating. For larger parties, they require a credit card to hold the reservation and give a limited grace period, with a fee of around $15 per person for no-shows. I understand why restaurants have policies like this, but it felt a little unfair considering we still had to wait around 15-20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. If guests are expected to strictly follow time slots, I think the restaurant should also try to hold themselves to those same standards. It also took close to two hours for our food to come out, and we repeatedly had to ask for smaller things like water or hot sauce. I completely understand that larger parties can take longer, but we were a group of seven, which didn't seem unusually large. Overall, the food and atmosphere keep us coming back, but the consistency in service could definitely be improved.

We had a fantastic time today! The service was great, the food was delicious and we enjoyed sharing…read morethe Aperol Spritz tower. The Aperol Spritz tower is a large beverage container and as many glasses as you like. It was a good way to serve it. It was a very hot day and we sat outside. We were in the shade and comfortable. There were fans and overhead shade for those outside in many spots. It's a beautiful space. I'm so glad we gave it a try and will be back!

A great restaurant has three things, Good Food, Good Ambience, and Good service…read more First, this place is beautiful, it's nicely decorated and bright, and has both indoor and outdoor seating. Second, Good Food. The food was also good. We had oysters, the bao buns, seafood pasta, etc. I also had a shrimp burger which was very messy, but also delicious. Finally, great service. Well, this is where things fell short. As we walked in, we had 4 adults and 2 kids, under 3. We came in to celebrate my mom's birthday. The hostess took a look at us, and instantly looked irritated. Like ugh where am I going to sit these people. She didn't know where to sit us and asked the manager. She was absolutely rude, didn't even acknowledge our presence and also just looked irritated. My mom asked about a specific larger table and the gal rudely said we keep that for 8 tops. Okay fine. No problem. So they out two - two top tables together and sat us there. Very tight, but we made it work. It just made us feel unwelcome. Even better, right after they sat 4 adults with two kids at the table we requested. Luckily, our waitress Jasmine was WONDERFUL and so kind. She helped turn the evening around and made it less awkward. That's why we kept 4 stars instead of 3.

Amazing French restaurant! Quant romantic unique and excellent service. Food was expertly prepared…read moreand service was with a smile and intelligent.

Upon arrival, the restaurant itself was very nice, the inside was quite cold which felt nice…read morebecause of the humidity! It wasn't horrible out so we sat outside. Unfortunately, our waiter was extremely rude throughout our meal. I'm not sure what his issue was, but his attitude made the entire experience unpleasant. Overall, the food was good, but the service lacked basic manners and communication. I'm vegetarian and also have food allergies, so clear communication is especially important to me. I need to understand exactly what I'm being served, and the restaurant needs to understand my dietary restrictions. I asked our waiter what came on the cheese board (Plateau de Fromages), and his response was simply, "It's a plate of cheese." I found that very condescending because I obviously understood that, I had specifically asked what was on the cheese board. Regardless of having dietary restrictions, I think a majority of people would know what comes on the cheese board given there is no information on the menu. He eventually told me it included three types of cheese, candied pecans and nine-grain bread. However, when it arrived, it also had crostinis, apples, a strawberry, and some type of Jell-O-like item that appeared as though it could contain gelatin. None of those items were mentioned when I specifically asked what was included. We also ordered a crepe to try, which was good. My husband ordered a dish that he enjoyed, and I ordered the Plat d'Oeufs. When ordering, I clearly requested over medium eggs and asked for the sausage to be placed on a separate plate. He responded by saying, "so you want eggs and sausage"and then asked what type of eggs I wanted, so I assumed he hadn't heard my request about the sausage and repeated it. He cut me off and said, "I got that. What type of eggs do you want?" His response felt unnecessarily dismissive, especially since I was simply trying to make sure my dietary restrictions were understood. When my food arrived, the eggs were over hard and almost completely cooked through. I politely explained that I had ordered them over medium. He responded, "Oh, so you want them softer?" I said yes. When he brought the replacement eggs, he made another unnecessary comment, "You wanted them "over easy," even though they were actually much closer to over medium. The food itself wasn't bad, and I certainly wasn't blaming our waiter for how the eggs were cooked, he wasn't the person preparing them. The issue was his attitude and the unnecessary comments throughout the meal. What could have been a nice dining experience was ultimately overshadowed by service that felt condescending, dismissive and unnecessarily rude. In the photo you can tell the egg was not cooked over medium. It was cooked all the way through.
