It started out a lil…read morerocky first couple seconds....So they were closed for regular biz and I was the first to walk in, and the lady behind the bar was quick to tell me they are closed for a private event instead of asking if I was there for it. I told him here for the event, and the owner or manager corrected her quickly saying she needs to ask people if they are here for the dinner as opposed to assuming they aren't and trying to turn them away. After that lil incident, everything was perfect. My waitress was amazing although I didn't catch her name. She was so sweet. And the food! OMG! So so good! The portions were just perfect, and the flavors were outstanding. I added the wine pairing and glad I did. All the wines were great. I'd definitely go back here.

We've had dinner at the portrait gallery before and were pretty impressed with the food. We figured…read morelunch here would be just as good...wrong. The quality was just not there. The burgers had that pre cooked microwave bacon and the "famous fries" were just curly wedges you can get at any college bar. That was a whopping 6 dollars for an addition of truffle mayo and pre shredded Parmesan. The lunch menu only has burgers and tacos. If you're gunna do all this to take away from your regular dining experience you may as well not do a lunch menu at all. I started reading other reviews and apparently this place has the same menu dinner and lunch. Seems like theft to allow the previous reviews and menu to be online. Only to serve people mediocre store bought tacos and burgers.

The outside is the small town charm of Matthews, but the inside is modern big city vibes. It is absolutely beautiful in there. Service was great and food and drinks amazing. I went on a Tuesday with a huge group of Facebook Group friends and we had a ball. We got the whole dining area reserved for us and in spite of a large crowd, the two waitresses were awesome. On Tuesdays cocktails are half off so I got the margarita and it was delish. For food I got the truffle fries and short rib sliders. Both were phenomenal! I couldn't even eat it all lol because even though small plates, I felt they both were filling. This place is great for a date night, hanging with the girls or even going solo to hang out at the bar. I can't wait to get back! Only thing that could make this place better is some live acoustic music sometimes, it would set the ambience off even more. Spoke with the owner and he said they do cocktail classes as well, they don't have them listed on the website but working on it, but said can email them for the info. I certainly will! lol

The food is pretty good to be honest, but the service is horrible. When I went in both times nobody smiled, said hello, greeted me, etc. Everyone working appeared to be in a bad mood and appeared to not want any customers in the restaurant. Again good food but service could be much better.

The seafood was cooked to perfection and was delivered promptly. Three things I would recommend to improve on: paper towels instead of napkins; make the fried calamari starter a larger portion; and make sure people eating crabs have the necessary tools when the meal is served. Overall this place was pretty awesome for an in-land seafood restaurant. Better than most at the seashore!! Highly recommend trying Shake Shake Seafood in Monroe. I know we will be!!

If I could give this restaurant zero stars, I would, but unfortunately, the lowest option is one…read more I came in on Saturday and ordered a lobster combo to go. When I got home, I noticed there was a foreign object in my food that absolutely should not have been there. I wasn't able to call Saturday because it was too late, and I had to work all day Sunday. I called Monday to report the issue and give the restaurant an opportunity to address it. I spoke with the general manager, Tan, and his response was extremely disappointing. He was very defensive, aggressive, and downright rude. Instead of listening to my concern, he questioned me by saying, "Why are you just now calling me?" and "Why are you calling me out of the blue?" The fact remains that regardless of when I called, there was a foreign object in my food that should not have been there. The timing of my call does not change what happened or make the issue any less concerning. I called when I was able to, and I should have been able to report my experience without being treated disrespectfully. I was calmly explaining what happened, yet he repeatedly told me to "calm down," as if I were the one being aggressive or unreasonable. I was not calling to argue or cause a problem. I was simply trying to make the restaurant aware of a serious issue with my order. What made the situation even worse was the attitude I received from management. Rather than taking the complaint seriously and addressing the food-safety concern, I felt like I was being treated as though I had done something wrong by calling. I did not ask for the foreign object or the additional ingredient that was found in my food, and it should not have been there in the first place. After this experience, I will not be spending my money at this restaurant again. I am also considering contacting the local health department regarding what I found in my food because this is a concern that should be taken seriously. Customers should be able to report legitimate concerns without being met with defensiveness, aggression, or disrespect. The facts remain the same regardless of when I called: there was something in my food that should not have been there, and the way management handled my complaint was completely unacceptable.
