I cannot recommend this restaurant.
My wife and I had heard wonderful things about the restaurant, and decided to try it out for our first anniversary dinner. The food was bland, overcooked, and overpriced.
Soup: $6.95 The "crab bisque" appeared to be campbells tomato soup with chunks of crabmeat. Score: 3/10
Appetizer: $8.95 The bacon-wrapped scallops were overcooked to the point that the scallops were tough & the bacon was dried-out and crunchy. Served on a plate with horseradish sauce, it did not even look appetizing. Score 2/10
Main Course: $23.95 I got the daily special: Pasta w/ shrimp, crabmeat, tomatoes, and basil. The tiny shrimp were overcooked and chewy, and there was absolutely no crabmeat in the dish. The dish was basically noodles drenched in oil, and it was completely tasteless. I tried to trade with my wife to see if she would like it, but she only had one bite. Score: 1/10
Crabcakes: ~$20 My wife got the crabcakes, and they were decent. Lots of crabmeat, not a whole lot of flavor. Score: 5/10
Dessert: $? Chocolate peanut butter mousse cake. By far the best part of the meal. 10/10
Drinks: $? They have a nice beer & wine list, and the drink specials were pretty tasty. 9/10
With three drinks, the total came to $100 plus tip, and I figure I could have had a better meal at any diner for half of that. The atmosphere had potential, but they could do with a dress code. We were wedged next to a grossly overweight gentleman wearing cutoff sweatpants and arguing with the waiter about coupons... not exactly the romantic evening we had been expecting.
Very disappointed, we will not be going back!
