It was early Sunday night and the bar was full but the dining area wasn't so we stayed in the bar. Service was excellent, the bartender came around and made sure we were comfortable, handed us menus and brought water. She told us the specials and shortly after our server came by. I was a bit disappointed at the lack of seafood on the menu. My picky girlfriend would have enjoyed some flounder or scallops but they only had a seared salmon and blacked shrimp. The Mrs. Got a burger and it was adequate, nothing to write home about. I got the chicken parm and it was ample and terrific. The tomato sauce was stellar! Sadly I wanted the scallops with risotto. This place has potential, the service is great, the atmosphere is fantastic, plus I know the chef has the chops from visiting his last place, the red store in Navasink. We'll be back but I'll be sure to check for seafood offerings before I go.

It's not the easiest place to get a table, so we made a reservation in advance and it was absolutely worth it. We came for a date night and had a wonderful evening. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, with a great crowd and a lively energy. Service was excellent- attentive, professional, and perfectly paced without ever feeling intrusive. The food was very well executed. The Covo Garlic Bread with black caviar was a pleasant surprise simple but beautifully balanced, a real little symphony of flavors. The ribeye arrived perfectly cooked to our requested temperature, and the sides especially the mashed potatoes and mushrooms were excellent. The wine selection is also very good. I had looked through the wine list beforehand and didn't see my favorite Malbec, but when I asked our server he mentioned they had just brought it in that day a lovely surprise that made the evening even better. Overall, a fantastic experience. It's wonderful to have such a great steakhouse in the neighborhood. We've already made another reservation and are looking forward to coming back with our friends for another lovely evening.

After reading the reviews, we wanted to give this place a try for dinner…read more The place is small and very minimally decorated, with the restaurant being comprised of plain white walls and 3 gray tables that seat up to 4 people. There is also a 2-seat table near the back as well. A mounted TV sits above the middle table and right below it is a small wooden panel that has the shape of a mermaid carved into it. The ordering counter is off to the side and has an adjoining display case that holds soda cans, condiments, bottled water, and a couple of bags of lettuce. We ordered the following: Crab cake platter. These were 2 jumbo lump crab cakes and the order came with fries. Daughter ate almost all of the fries. I had to fight her for it. LOL. This order was delicious and freshly made. Tuna tataki, which is seared rare tuna with pepper crust, ginger and soy sauce. Daughter liked this a lot. This was a nice presentation which made us wonder if the chef worked at a 5 star dining restaurant instead of a shack. Surprise, surprise! A lot better than we expected. Pint of New England clam chowder, which has clams, bacon and potatoes. Daughter loved it and thought it was delicious. Hubs said that he usually prefers the Manhattan clam chowder but he loved this a lot. He loved that he was able to munch on clams at every spoonful and that it wasn't too thick for him. Manhattan clam chowder wasn't available when we were there. Hopefully, they'll have it the next time we return. Sirens House Salad, which has spring mix, tomatoes, bell peppers, red onions, carrots, parmesan and croutons. The dressing was homemade balsamic vinaigrette. We thought this was pretty good and I was obsessed with the croutons. They tasted fresh and crunchy. I liked everything about this place. Everything tasted freshly made. Service was friendly and quick. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu!

So I will be coming back... you better believe that. I hope you remember me. I'm the blonde girl that said she was afraid of food? Well, I'm not afraid of food anymore after eating your food LOL. By the way, your telephone number is not working. You have to fix that. I tried to call you to say thank you for a wonderful meal, but the phone number did not work. Other than that.
