Reviews
Very old school fine dining. The gentlemen staff was very attentive, helpful, and made us feel welcome and comfortable. We enjoyed their recommendations (barnacle appetizer and wine selections). The grouper and lobster were very good. Calamari was good, but not memorable. Enjoyable meal and experience.
