Came here randomly for lunch as my boyfriend and I were coming up from Mystic and I was awestruck by the food and the service. It was beyond phenomenal! The server was so attentive and made great suggestions as to what to partake. We ate a variety of oysters, clam chowder, the Rhode island calamari (yum), seafood risotto, and my boyfriend devoured the king crab legs, all with a nice bottle of white wine in a pretty and well lit restaurant. They sat us by the side where the glass to ceiling windows offered quite a view of providence. I highly recommend this place!

Great spot for seafood fare! They also do offer a few items like burgers, steaks, salads, etc. Gluten free options are also a staple of the menu. The service and food are excellent, top to bottom. They are part of a multi-restaurant group, with a decent rewards program. The only thing keeping this from a 5 star review are the incidentals. First, the location itself is across from the courthouse, where free parking is basically extinct. The alternative used by most is a $6 valet service that requires validation and a short walk through a hotel lobby. Second, the place is a little cramped and usually busy, so expect to wait for seating, half-shout conversations, and just be very close to other diners.

The lobster and crab cakes were to die for. They were the best crab cakes I have ever had. I had the fish tacos and my boyfriend had the chicken gyro and both were amazing. The zucchini fries were also delish and light. The oysters come with two different sauces and are wonderfully fresh. We went for lunch and the prices were appropriate for the quality of the food. The service was wonderful as well. Our server Alana? was very attentive. I was happy that we included this in our short trip to RI.

Very stuffy staff and customers! Service was a train wreck - wrong meals and dropped dishes at our table. My meal was very good but others with us not so much. Always over priced.

My sister and I dined here last night for our birthdays, which are in close proximity! The food was great and the atmosphere is always amazing but what really made our night was our server, Theresa! I have been working in F & B operations for over 10 years and have never had such service as to which we received last night! She was text book phenomenal! Our night was made so special by her amazing attention to detail, knowledge of the menu, and stellar recommendations! I've always had a great experience at this restaurant but I would rate last night as the best service I've ever had! If you read this, request her when making a reservation! If you are part of upper management or ownership, you have a gem in Theresa, I can't rave enough about what a special evening my sister and I had!!!
