Tonight once again I'm tired of trying to get in... I truly enjoy the food but the door is always locked! This has been the case 50% of the time! Even the valet's can't get their attention to unlock the door. I always end up walking to the Capitol Grille, Hemingways, Palo, etc... (Palo's is a sleeper / fantastic!) I know I'm an "early bird" arriving a little past 5:00 still...! The employees see me trying to come in but just stand there looking... Two days ago I arrived and they had let a dozen enter and locked the door behind them. This has happened many times and I now officially surrender... I love the venison but it's not worth the aggravation. read more

My review is not about the food, because the food is great. It's the service. I bought a $150 gift card for my friends for their wedding anniversary 2 years ago. I bought it on their website and purchased it through a third party site they use called swipeit.com. They went the following year after I purchased the card and was told it was invalid and had no money on it. A very embarrassing situation for me and for them. However, on www.swipeit.com it shows the card balance is for $150 and specifically says it's for Mills Tavern. I called the manager and was assured it was a mistake and the card was fine and they apologized for the situation, and I was told an extra $50 would be put on it for the inconvienence. The extra $50 was never put on it, but at least they saw the card in fact had $150. The next time they tried, same exact scenario. They were once again told the card had no money on it even though it clearly says on www.swipeit.com that there is a $150 balance for Mill's Tavern. They spoke with the manager Meredith and were told the only way to get the money would be to provide the email receipt from 2 years ago. I called and spoke with Meredith. I introduced myself and started to explain the situation and was immediately cut off. She wouldn't allow me to explain and accused me of being upset. I was simply trying to figure the situation out but she continued to be rude and condescending, and I finally had to tell her that I wasn't being rude but also didn't want the $150 gift card to simply be null and void when the card balance says $150 is there. She initially told me there was nothing she could do without a receipt and was sorry. I told her last year I spoke with a different manager and was given a different story and was assured the money was on the card. Meredith told me in her rude and condescending way that she would investigate and get back to me. I'm hoping this situation can be settled once and for all, after 2 years and two times trying to use a gift card that clearly states on the purchasing website that it has $150 for Mill's Tavern on it. A gift card that was purchased from their very own website. read more

We ended up getting a very nice meal here. I got a penicillin for drink and it was quite good. I also shared some calamari which was excellent and we did get some oysters which were also pretty tasty. For my meal I ended up getting a steak which was quite tasty as well. Service was excellent really no complaints whatsoever. Ambiance is very nice and dressy and chic If I was in the area I would definitely come and check it out It is a busy restaurant so you might want to make a reservation or just be prepared to wait. read more

I'd come back! Here's why: ____Food____ -Ordered the A3 American Wagyu for two with a side of parmesan asparagus. Meat was sliced and cooked nicely, a medium rare, just as we ordered it. I was spoiled a few days earlier with a Japanese A5 so this didn't taste as scrumptious yet, the quality was still pretty good. Asparagus were beautifully presented and tasted even better. - We had oysters that weren't bad but I probably wouldn't order them again.... their homemade cocktail sauce was memorable though. - As for salads, skip the caesar and get the garden. Trust me... it's DELICIOUS. Truly an underrated item that tastes like Christmas and isn't terribly overdressed (as what usually tends to happen whenever I order a salad and don't ask for dressing on the side). This salad does contain nuts FYI. - For dessert, I ordered a light and creamy matcha cheesecake.... it was so perfectly balanced and pretty to look at...10/10. ___________Service_________ - Staff was friendly and attentive.... it was a busy Saturday night so I've really no complaints :) ________Ambiance__________ - Cozy and romantic... nice for a date or family dinner. Parking may horever, be an issue. read more

You're classic upscale steakhouse ~ I went for grad celebrations The meat was so juicy The sides were so good This is where I learned about limoncello? The tomahawk steak changed my life (and perspective on steak) read more

We missed our annual trip in '23 and we sat down at the bar and Arielle immediately recognized us and we picked up right where we left off 2 years ago! Drinks, oysters in the 1/2 shell, great atmosphere and a true pro running the bar. Wish we had a place like this back home! read more

This place was a hoity-toity disappointment. Prices: $$$$ Ambiance: $$$ Food quality: $$ Service: $ So we ordered escargot as an appetizer. Pretty tasty although mostly just covered in a meat sauce with mushrooms. Well, not the usual preparation but we're cool with it. Then come the entrees. My fish special (halibut) was pretty small as servings go. Fish was over cooked and dry. Disappointing. Another person got the short ribs. Decent. Tasty. Watery meat sauce reminiscent of the escargot. Either way, not bad. Dish 3: swordfish. Dry. Again. Overcooked. Maybe they don't know how to cook fish! Wife got the gnocchi. These were little burnt briquettes. I tried them and they were hard. Like microwaved leftovers. The sauce, strangely, was identical to the escargot. WTF. Are they putting almost everything in the same sauce? Oh yeah, they forgot all our sides. And service was at a slug's pace. Probably due to the lack of servers. Overall, hate to say it, Mill's Tavern is a big waste of money. We should have gone with plan B - or Z. Funny, as we were walking out, the guy at the table next to us was griping about how his steak wasn't so good. And it wasn't so good the last time either. Thank you sir. We won't make the same mistake. We will not be back. There are too many good restaurants in Providence to waste money on an overly ostentatious establishment with very poor quality food. read more

I used to come here all the time back around 2010-2015. Started coming back in 2019 and keep "giving it another shot". Tonight sadly was the last one. First - menu in house doesn't match online. And they are seasonal. So how do you not offer the seasonal menu that is online in-person? Second - they can't make the Mac & cheese side w/o bacon....why? Is this not made fresh? That is a major red flag. Fish of the day was halibut - first off the noodles on the menu don't indicate they are cold. Not only are they cold, zero sauce or seasoning aside from mangos tossed in curry. The halibut was so over cooked the only way to describe it was the scene from Christmas vacation when the turkey gets over cooked by Katherine and they all chew a lot and chug water. Wine list is solid, service was fine. Creamed corn is canned corn swimming in a soup. Providence is a culinary student rich city. We know good food. Their tenure isn't going to save them. New Rivers, Parkside, even Hemingway's (which had also gone down hill) are better. read more

Tyler was a very attentive waiter. He recommended menu items and hit the ball completely out of the park every time! The food was amazing, the drinks were great, and the atmosphere was really nice! We loved the panels they put up between tables. It didn't take away from the decor, and the staff was super nice and so helpful and kind. We had the calamari then the filet mignon for dinner with the mashed potatoes and asparagus. Seriously, people! Go to Mill's Tavern for a treat! Did I mention the dessert?! OH.MY!!!! It was ALL COMPLETELY homemade!! The ice cream and the cookie crumble were to die for! ! We forgot to take a pictures of the entrees and sides read more

Went for my bf's birthday celebration and had a wonderful experience. My bf recently learned that he has several food allergies and this was the very first time eating out for us since finding out. Our server was Elizabeth (Lizzy) and she was PHENOMENAL!!! As I mentioned, this is our first time going out to eat since learning of his allergies and I had previewed the menu before going. However, we still had a few questions regarding ingredients for several of our selections. Lizzy was so patient with us and going to ask the kitchen or the bar about ingredients. She would return with such great enthusiasm if it was allergen free or provide great alternative options that were allergen free. We were nervous to go out, but it was for his birthday and I didn't want him to feel restricted. Lizzy made the experience so wonderful and enjoyable. We ordered half dozen oysters that were so fresh and local to RI. Followed by an amazingly prepared and cooked to perfection (med. rare) sliced 32oz prime tomahawk steak that was accompanied by mixed sauteed mushrooms. I don't typically like mushrooms, but enjoyed every bite of this side dish. We finished the lovely dinner with an espresso (came with a rock candy stir stick) and the sorbet tasting trio. Thank you to Mill's Tavern's kitchen staff, bar staff, and Lizzy for being patient, accommodating, and making our night one to remember. We will certainly be back. read more

I got sick dining at Mills Tavern! I've dined at Mills tavern twice. The first time, I wasn't impressed but wanted to give the restaurant a second chance. The second time I dined was this past week with my husband for his birthday. This past visit was very disappointing. Our server was nice but the service overall could be improved. We ordered drinks and appetizers to enjoy and we were asked multiple times to place our entree orders even though we expressed we wanted to wait (the restaurant wasn't busy; if it was we would have ordered right away). We also ordered a second round of drinks from the bar which we had to ask the hostess to track down for us because we didn't know where our server was (a cocktail and glass of wine- the second cocktail was prepared differently than the first one). We ordered a salad, oysters, tomahawk steak, Brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese. The food was good- I had no complaints while eating BUT later that night I was woken up by extreme stomach pains. I quickly realized I had food poisoning (I had all the symptoms). My husband was okay until the next morning when he also got violently ill. We reached out to the restaurant but they sent A very generic email back. Hoping this doesn't happen to anyone else. read more

Second time at Mills Tavern on a visit to Providence and both were superb. The food was fantastic, our server, Aaron, was so attentive and friendly, and Meredith, who dealt with us to modify the reservation at the last minute, was a model of professionalism in hospitality. Beautiful space and fully accessible, which we needed for our party. Cannot recommend highly enough. Long live Mills Tavern! read more

A-Mah-Zing! This might've just become my new favorite restaurant. Came here to celebrate my birthday with the fam bam and it surely didn't disappoint. Every part of he experience was absolutely on par with upscale dining. From the valet to the service to the food, there wasn't anything we could complain about. When we got there at 6pm on Sat night, it looked pretty empty but the tables starting filling in as the night went on and it didn't stop and after last night's visit, I can understand why. Our waitress, Naomi is definitely up there with one of the best. She was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She already came into the conversation recommending the house favorites which just happened to mimic what we were looking to order. We started with the calamari and littlenecks. Calamari was one of the best renditions I've ever had. Lightly battered and not too chewy with a delicious dusting of Asian flavors had melted in your mouth. And the little necks - well, just make sure you ask for more bread, the broth was delicious. All around, all of our dishes were prepared wonderfully. My favorites were the duck and salmon. I got the swordfish - it was nice and juicy but was a bit under seasoned but did come with a very tasty tandoori sauce. And the sides, wow is all I can say. This ain't your ordinary Mac and Cheese. Just get it. Decadent and chock full of tasty bacon lardons - whatever a lardon is, we want more of it. Mash potatoes weren't over whipped and seasoned perfectly. From beginning to finish, we had a superb experience. They even cut up the cake we brought in for the birthday celebration and served it to us. Mill's Tavern is like a well oiled machine. The food was excellent, the service was impeccable and ambiance was wonderful. I can't wait to go back to see what else they have up their sleeves. For those not looking to spend an arm and a leg, looks like they have a prix fixe menu during the week - definitely a nice option that allows all to discover this gem and what it has to offer. I would recommend making a reservation and then just enjoy. read more

Overall, I think Mill's Tavern is underrated. The menu is expensive but they advertise themselves as upscale so no surprises there. Despite the cost, the food is quality and it's plated beautifully. The service is great too. The staff are trained, attentive, friendly and polite. Mill's Tavern is not cheap, but a reliable Providence staple for good food and quality service. Lately I've been coming here to hang out at the bar. This is where they earn their 5 stars. I can order food to the bar, which helps avoid the wait for a table since they are usually pretty busy on weekends. Their wine menu is delicious. Really quality wine for a decent price. If you want to try more than one glass, they even have a few flight options that are also reasonable. As a bonus, they offer a 9 oz pour which ends up being a good deal if you're looking to drink more than a typical glass. Lastly, the dining environment is good. It's not trying to be super trendy or modern, instead it leans towards rustic colonial, but every corner is treated and it truly feels upscale. The vibe really is cozy. read more

This is my local restaurant. I've been here nearly a dozen time in the last 2 years. I don't recommend it. The bar is great but the drinks are expensive. The bartenders are friendly and there when you want them to be, helping others when you don't The food is radically subpar. The steaks are served cold on cold plates. The specials have always tasted like they were under heat lamps for hours. If you want a drink in an upscale place, Mill's is perfect. But the food is not at all aligned with the prices. read more

Would give this 20 stars if I could ! Me and my finance came from out of town and had the most amazing experience. From the perfect table by the window, to the thoughtful service, the extensive wine selection, and the unique and tasty food the whole night couldn't have been better. This place is on the more expensive side, but we got an amazing portion and value for the price. P.S. try the Yuzu sorbet!!! It may have been one of the best desserts I've ever had! read more

We had dinner here this weekend with a party of 8 to celebrate a birthday. Everyone really enjoyed it. Cocktails were well made. The food was delicious, from the oysters to the steaks, swordfish and risotto, everyone loved their meals. Our server was friendly and attentive. Can't wait to go back! read more

This place is hit or miss. Tonight was a miss- I started with the artisan salad that had peaches and candid walnuts and with a honey blueberry vinaigrette. The salad had two extremely small diced peaches that were toothpick thin and less than an inch long. The salad also had two crumbs of walnuts. I ordered the swordfish and it was not fresh very tough, looked like frozen meatloaf and came out cold. I ended up having to send it back for the salmon which was good but the orzo was hard and dry with dill pairing (but says lemon herb on the menu) which was odd with a sticky glazed salmon seasoning. My friend got the mussels the mango seasoning was tasty but the mussels were sandy and one even had a small pebble in one. Our other guests had the sea bass which was a little overcooked, the lobster ravioli was good as well as the filet with corn and Mac and cheese as sides. Not sure if it was because of them being off for the holiday (July 4) the very next day and the restaurant trying to use up what they had (eluded from the waiter) or if it was just an off night. I've had a few good meals here a year ago but also had not so good ones so I am going to give this restaurant a pass for awhile it's too pricy to not get amazing food. read more

This might seem strange to give this place a 5 star review just based on one tiny appetizer, but it really was excellent. On a weekend trip to Rhode Island, with limited time and so many places you want to try, what's a girl to do, other than getting a little something at many places. So since this place was on the more expensive side, I decided to order just 4 pieces of shrimp cocktail. The shrimp was unbelievably fresh and the cocktail sauce was great. I'd love to go back and try a full meal there. read more

As expected, great service is one of their trademarks and in addition to the aforementioned what keeps us going back. read more

Mill's Tavern used to be one of our favorite restaurants. Unfortunately I had a couple of suboptimal and unpleasant experiences there pre-covid. Last week I went to a retirement dinner there and had hoped that it had improved in the interim. Sadly it did not. I ordered the duck. It looked lovely and was plated beautifully and cooked to a perfect medium (as was suggested by the chef). However it was truly cold when it was served to me (as well as my colleague' duck seated next to me). Not room temperature, but colder than room temperature. The fat was blubbery and overall inedible. I sent it back. When my plate was returned to me, it was the same duck breast cooked AGAIN and ultimately served well done -not the way I ordered it nor the way in which it was suggested to be prepared. Given that we sat down at 7 PM and it was now 9 PM and we were just getting our dinner. I decided to eat whatever I could and just endure it. Additionally, the calamari (for the appetizer)was incredibly tough and rubbery. We opted not to get dessert as we just wanted the dining experience to be over. Truly and utterly disappointing. I'm grateful I wasn't paying for the meal. read more

As a New Yorker, I have moderate to low expectations for $1 oyster specials, so needless to say I was absolutely blown away by how amazing the $1 local oysters were at Mills Tavern. Seriously. So. Good. We came for happy hour and did the raw bar special ($1 oysters & shrimp). Three of us went through 3 dozen oysters-- they're seriously that good. We shared the happy hour wine special ($35 bottles) and then pivoted to the cocktails. I had a watermelon mint cocktail that was dangerously yummy. It was shaken with fresh watermelon. We spent about 2.5 hours at the bar. The waiters and bartenders were all awesome and so fun. The place has a sophisticated but welcoming vibe. Then, we left to meet another friend for dinner, and I accidentally (likely alcohol-induced) left a shopping bag at the bar. We called and the general manager (Alex) we'd chatted with actually DROPPED OFF my shopping bag at the other restaurant we were at on his way home from work. It was so, so beyond nice and sooooo very appreciated. This place is such an amazing neighborhood gem, and I would definitely return here on my next trip to Providence! read more

Came here for team dinner because it was recommended by the local people. Ordered a seafood palette and one main course each and it turned out to be like $600 bucks for like 6 of us. I could not even remember the food much because it was not too good or bad but it was decent but all I remembered was how expensive it was and none of us even felt full after that. On the other hand, out server was really attentive and responsive so that was the plus side of this meal. If the food was not that expensive, I might be more impressed by the food itself but I was honestly surprised by how much it came to be when the food was not even that memorable. read more

We came here on Easter for a 5 hour Easter Brunch. It was lovely. No cooking, no dishes, no drama! It was quiet for most of our visit but picked up a bit as time went on. We tried just about everything on the menu and will save you the time about my feelings on each individual dish... Overall everything was great. I will highlight my main feedback on a few of the dishes. We started with a medium shellfish tower which had Oysters, littlenecks, tiger shrimp, and Alaskan king crab legs. We asked for something to replace the littlenecks since none of us like those. They must have switched up the king crab legs because we didn't get those, rather we got snow crab claws. It came with a bunch of other spreads which I was not a huge fan of but the shrimp and crab were great! We also got the Meat and cheese board. I honestly was not a fan of the selections on the board but we had so much coming, I didn't worry about it. We then got the Calamari which was so so tender and the Cava Risotto which hit the spot. We ordered a Caesar salad for the 4 of us to split and take a breather, however, this was by far the worst dish of the day... It was so so so fishy we couldn't even eat it and that was after we took the whole sardines off the top. For our entrees, we got the lamb, the short rib, the NY Strip and the Rib Eye... All spectacular. We decided that since it was easter and we couldn't make up our minds we would get one of each side! From our most favorite to the least... Mac and Cheese Mashed Potato with Crispy Shallots Wood Roasted Asparagus and the two we could have done without The Brussel sprouts - bitter The Sweet Potato and Parsnip mash - no flavor Add a few rounds of delicious cocktails and a couple bottles of wine, we are now to dessert... Why not order them all? So we did. Strawberry Rhubarb Coffeecake with pistachio butter - Yumm Affogato - Delicious Caramelia Mousse Bread Pudding Creme Brulee Trio of sorbets Our server Shane was incredible. He was funny, attentive but left us alone to enjoy our feast. He truly was the perfect server and we appreciate him spending his Easter with us! read more

Food was a five the service was a one and take a point off for the cost. I appreciate that restaurants are having trouble getting staff but at the prices this place charges I expect a lot more service than we received. The only person that was helpful was the young man responsible for keeping the water glasses full and moving the plates after the courses were finished. Our server was the invisible man, not at the table, not in the room. We requested the manager, he never came to the table. We had a soup go cold for want of a spoon, had to ask three times over fifteen minutes for a drink and our dining experience took over three hours. THREE + HOURS!! The waiter problem can be blamed on new employees and/or trouble hiring competent staff. The manager never acknowledging our problems is unforgivable! No valet parking offered. read more

This is a beautiful place, with attentive and friendly service, and is almost perfect for a special occasion. The only problem is that the menu makes it appear like it specializes in steak and the steak if awful. A ribeye costing $54 with no sides was about half an inch thick, and could not possibly be cooked at anything other than well done and dried out. Another one of us had a "medium-rare" filet that was grey and dry. There's not really a good excuse for this. The worst is that I always forget and order a steak again. read more

Food is normally on the good side, for the most part. Last time I was here though, I got extremely bad food poisoning.

Absolutely way overpriced for what you get served here, to be honest. Also, the food isn't great any longer in my opinion.

Hi Mills Tavern Team, I am writing this review 20 mins out from when my fiancé and I left your restaurant. We couldn't wait because that's how amazing the food, service and atmosphere was for us. We arrived ten mins early for our reservation which wasn't a problem for your hosting staff. They were so kind, welcoming and friendly. We didn't wait long until Allyson,the star of our night,greeted us with such charisma. She explained the specials of the night and when we asked for the pre fixe menu she checked if it was offered for the night. No matter what questions we had, Allyson was knowledgeable and didn't make us feel stupid like we've felt at other places. Our appetizers arrived and those first bites were the most memorable and it didn't stop there. Our entrees and dessert were equally as delicious and memorable for us. We are excited to come again with the rest of our family and have Allyson as our waitress. We thank you for a delicious,memorable meal and fantastic service. Thank you, Krystal and Chris read more

I always want to love Mill's and give it a full 5 stars but each time I've went, there's always something missing. To score a complete five stars in a $$$ restaurant, I'd expect perfection and Mill's always falls a bit short. Pros: - the $1 oyster happy hour menu is amazing! The oysters are incredibly tasty and fresh and they offer the happy hour special 7 days a week! - unique and punny drinks. I'm a sucker for puns so I got a kick out of "gin membership" and "let that mango" but the drinks were awesome too. I went recently and select wines were half off the entire bottle! - atmosphere: it's very nice and elegant! I feel like I'm in a movie about rich people wining and dining in nyc and it feels wonderful from time to time. I had the restaurant week special with gnocchi being my main entree. The flavors were delicious but the texture of the gnocchi was a bit disappointing. The blueberry cake dessert was alright - the cake was a bit dry but the ice cream really made up for it. Again, overall I think the meal was worth it but it didn't blow me away. read more

No thank you. I don't know what the hype here is - all my experiences have been subpar for this place. Driving in, you may get lucky with street parking, but there's complimentary valet - so it was a no brainer for us to just use that instead. Inside it's well lit with small tables seating throughout the main dining space, and then a more private area to the back right. The decor is done like a high end steak house with nautical vibes - lots of dark wood utilized. I've been here before for a work event and was recently here for a birthday celebration. For this most recent experience, we were seated in the more private area. It was set up for our party of 10, but there were also a few other smaller groups seated in the area as well. It's a nice ambiance, with large windows to with a view of the city however, it was mighty cramped for our group considering how small the space is and they still squeezed other tables in there. Their drinks list is fairly extensive with a nice list of seasonal house drinks to also choose from. For the food they had their fall menu out. I ordered their pumpkin and cream cheese wood fire flatbread with pomegranate and arugula as the topping (I removed the bacon to make it vegetarian.) Overall the food was just not tasty. I tried to season it up with black pepper and red pepper flakes, but I wasn't really feeling any of it. The dough was chewy rather than crispy and I don't feel the use of the pumpkin/cream cheese as the sauce was done well. The sauce should've been worked with additional seasonings (cinnamon? cumin? - something to add a little oomph.) I also wasn't too happy about the lack of veggie friendly options to begin with on the menu. It would've been nice to have choices rather than have to modify their glorified pizza so I could eat something satiating. They did have a salad on there - but that's something I can just make at home for free. I ended up just packing the pie up to go in hopes of reworking it at home. I thought the service was pretty good - our water glasses were filled constantly and the staff were readily available for any requests. I also liked that they were able to discreetly bring out the surprise cake to celebrate our friend's birthday! In the end, I won't be rushing back here. It didn't really have too many food options for me and what I did end getting was not to my satisfaction. read more

We have been to Mills Tavern several times and could never complain, although my friends have recently expressed concerns about their own visits. The food is always consistently fantastic so obviously we came back last month. The drinks were fantastic and the calamari was great, but then came the main course. I ordered the swordfish and a small square piece of fish arrived in front of me. No sauce, no veggies, no rice, NOTHING but a sponge sized piece of swordfish. Now I'm sure they will say "Well it's a la carte so you order veggies separately!" I understand that, but my wife expressed her concern about how embarrassing that is for such an upscale restaurant to serve an unnaturally small and square piece of swordfish with nothing else on the plate especially since a simple rice or green bean side wouldn't break the bank. Her exact words were, "I would never let this dish leave my kitchen like this!" Not sure what happened, but very dissatisfied in one of our favorite restaurants! read more

Quite possibly one of the best service experiences I have ever had at a restaurant. Before I get into talking about how good the food at this restaurant was, I must start by saying that the service we had at this restaurant was absolutely impeccable. Timely seating, unrushed drink/order service, complete run down of the menu when requested and proactive service that anticipated our needs seemed to be the norm of this restaurant. The only imperfection of the night was the restaurant running out of a particular bottle of wine we had been drinking, but our server was quick to recommend another very similar bottle. Around the table, our orders ranged from the lamb chops to swordfish to the scallops with me personally ordering the duck. The entrees were cooked to perfection and presented extremely well. All of us, have eaten at multiple restaurants traveling for work and commented it truly has been one of the best dining experiences we have had in awhile. While this is early for my time in Providence, I would not be surprised if this ultimately ends up being one of the top dining experiences I have in the city. Bottom line, try this place. You're going to be amazed. read more

Great place to come for 1$ happy hour oysters, little necks and shrimps. Doesn't look like it from the outside but different experience inside. You can make reservations or sit near the bar area. It can get a little crowded around there sometimes. Service was good although slightly on the slower side when there are lots of people ordering the same thing. Got the frosted cape drink which was decent. They have a good selection of wines otherwise and a full bar as well. Got a dozen oysters and dozen shrimp, all of which was good. Also their rib eye is amazing and was perfectly done, def recommend it. Overall great place to stop by if in the area. Good place esp for seafood and also steak I'll say. Slightly pricey, also the crowd is mostly on the older side. Service was good. read more
