THIS PLACE! Was absolutely delicious from the fresh oysters that we devoured. To the Jonah crab and angel hair pasta and cast iron salmon! Mouthwatering and so full of flavor, PLEASE TRY THEM! the staff was caring and very attentive. Place is a total 10/10 I will be back soon… Tomorrow.
This place is really great. I made a reservation for an early supper; and, thankfully, their dinner service starts at 5pm. The staff are really kind and attentive. My waitress, Ingryd, was superb!
For appetizers, I ordered the Caesar Salad with the crab dusted fries; and their signature "Presidential Jaques' to drink. For dinner, I had the Lobster Caccio e Pepe and the Shrimp & Pork Dumpling Plate with a Sauvignon Blanc for drinks.
I spent around $200 but that's because I had a big appetite and Ingryd deserved a great tip. Each order is about 20 bucks, more or less. So a drink, an appetizer and a main dish will run you around $60-80 dollars; plus a tip, you might spend $100 per person.
My only critique is, I would've preferred both my plates to come out together. Instead, the dumplings arrived first and the Caccio e Pepe took much longer. I didn't mind the wait, but I wanted to taste the dumplings with it together and they were cold & firm once the Caccio e Pepe did finally arrive. Maybe I should've had Ingryd tell the kitchen my preference.
Nevertheless, the food was, as a whole, DELICIOUS and I definitely plan on returning again and again when I'm on campus! The lights are perfectly dimmed with a safron glow. The music is hip, current and chill- from Duran Duran to Mary J Blige- it was a total vibe! It's the perfect setting to unwind and refuel after a long day and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

The food was okay, and Angel, who looked after us, was very friendly and helpful. However, the person who greeted us when we entered came across as a little rude, which made the initial welcome feel uncomfortable. Angel’s service improved the overall experience.

Came here for my birthday not expecting much despite the great reviews online. BEST MEAL I've had in awhile. From the raw bar to the dessert. SO GOOD. Cocktails amazing too. The whole experience and service was amazing. Jeannie, our server, deserves a shout out. She was so patient and kind and great at promoting and describing the menu in and out. Very happy I picked this restaurant and would definitely come back again. Thing to note is if you want the dollar oysters you need to sit st the bar on the weekends, otherwise it was full price, but still worth it.

Very nice place! The imaginative drinks were of special note, particularly the Milk Punch. I also had a drink involving absinthe which was spot on. Great tasting and very fresh oysters and clams. The Tuna Crudo was a marvelous tease. I had the Lobster Cacio, and the whole wheat pasta was in marvelous harmony with the subtle sauce and lobster pieces. My table mate had the Fish Sando. It was delicious. All in all just a fine meal! I would note that the air conditioning was running on steroids and all guests should bring a jacket to avoid hypothermia by the time dessert arrives.
