High quality ingredients but as others have posted the prices are high and portions were small. The room felt dated and our service fell a bit flat. With lots of options in the area it's unlikely I'll return but the food was prepared perfectly and we really enjoyed the chef's take on garlic noodles.

This restaurant stays true to its name and serves up some very decadent and flavorful fresh seafood. The oysters are fantastic; they were nice and briny, a little sweet, and served with freshly grated horseradish, cocktail sauce, and a mignonette. The server brought out three small amuse of Ahi, Cucumber, and Oranges that were quite delicious. We also ordered a Maryland crabcake; it had almost no filler, just pure, delicious lump crab meat, served with a dijon mayonnaise, and drawn butter. For entrees we had the Kampachi fillet special, seafood medley, and shrimp & filet mignon. All the dishes were well prepared, and very tasty. Since the filet and seafood medley came without a starch, we ordered the truffled mashed potatoes which were rich, buttery, and creamy. All in all the experience was wonderful, the prices were very fair, and I look forward to my next visit.

My wife’s food was AMAZING best scallops I have ever tasted. I got the swordfish which was really good as well but a little on the spicy side. The waiters were very professional and quick to serve. They made sure to check in often to see if we needed anything. Pricing was a little high but the atmosphere was very extravagant. Would definitely go back.

Great large restaurant on the second floor off the street. Large elegant dining room with good seafood and steaks. Lots of shellfish and many fish choices (but sometimes they run out). The service from our waiter Javier is great also.

Perfect food and service. Had the crab cake for starter. Tasted fresh with meat and little fillers. Scallops were perfectly done and with a tasty creamy sauce. The cappuccino martini was tasty with a punch.

Wonderful place for a 3 course dining experience. Came with our company for dinner. The shrimp cocktail was wonderful. Shrimp are large. The calamari were also very good. I had stuffed halibut and they also have a variety of cheesecake dor dessert.
