It was nice in the bar area not terribly crazy. Both bartenders were very friendly attentive and helpful. My daughter and I shared a large Lures Caesar which they split for us in the kitchen. It was very good. Husband got Maryland fried rice which he loved. Daughter got short ribs with a cream sauce. It was very tasty- a large portion and very tender . I got the grilled Cobia with Rockefeller Risotto.. Delicious but very rich. One thing I especially like is that they have mocktails on the menu. I had one with hibiscus tea and NA sparkling wine. It was very refreshing. I enjoyed it a lot . We will definitely go back again.

If you like stale bread and RARE cheeseburgers for kids, this is the place for you. We had to send…read moreback two out of three of our kids meals. One kids' meal had a rare cheeseburger, then other was a grilled cheese with bread so stale that it was crumbly. Also, we didn't realize the kids' meals came with fries OR fruit, the menu was not quite clear. Regardless, I feel as though the server could have mentioned "the fruit will be extra" so I could have corrected my decision. There was absolutely no reason why I would EVER pay $15 for $3 worth of pineapple, especially for kids. The waitress was nice enough, I was just very annoyed about the fruit situation. She seemed to think it was intuitive and kinda shrugged when I told her about the confusion. With four kids, $15 for fruit is just insane. She brought cheesecake as an apology for the messed up kids' meals. But I would have rather not had the cheesecake and just gotten the fruit taken off the ticket. They didn't even eat it, as kids do. The restaurant was nice. It just looked a little run down. Like the floors were extremely dirty, they need a good cleaning. Despite being very busy, we were seated quickly-that was a pleasant surprise. In summary, be prepared to send food back to be cooked properly. And good Lord, make sure you don't accidentally order fruit, it's $5 for 10 small chunks of pineapple.

Our local neighborhood restaurant just went from one of our faves to probably number two (just behind The Garten). The welcoming and friendly service is truly exceptional.

The bartenders are great and the atmosphere is always fun and lively. The Thursday half-price bottles of wine is always a wonderful treat too!

The food was pretty good. They have a special on the wings on Wednesdays. The service was prompt and friendly. The bartender seated us right away. We actually arrived around noon time so we were the first ones there. I ordered the fried green tomatoes and the buffalo wings. Which came with celery and your choice of dressing. The food was average. Nothing to brag about but I would return to try the crab dip. I heard it was good and I am a fan of any cheese crab dip. I enjoyed my wings. The fried green tomatoes could have been cooked a little longer to suit my taste but it wasn't bad. Just a little hard to cut through with the knife. I'm interested in trying out their early evening. To see if they have any happy Hour specials. I loved the service that was received. So I would definitely return.

The staff are always super friendly and welcoming, and the food comes out pretty quickly. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality. One of my favorite things is trivia night on Wednesdays -- it's always fun and well run. That said, my biggest complaint is the constantly changing menu. They've removed some of my favorite items over time, especially the cream of crab soup, which was hands down the best cream of crab soup I've ever had. Losing that (and a few other entrées I loved) was really disappointing. One small but odd note: the ranch dressing tasted more like blue cheese, unless I was accidentally given the wrong sauce. Despite the menu changes, this is still a place I enjoy going back to because of the atmosphere, friendly staff, and solid pricing. I just wish they'd bring back some of the fan-favorite dishes.

We had a largely positive dinner at Seasalt on April 27. Reservations went smoothly and the…read morerestaurant was not crowded on a Monday evening. We settled into our table and were welcomed by Shannon, our server. (There was a little confusion about this, but it straightened out.) The restaurant is bright and separated from the well-stocked bar. I had a Sagamore rye neat, and B ordered a glass of the Rioja. If there are oysters on the menu, you know I'll order them. There was a pretty good selection, and I opted for a half dozen Rappahanock oysters. They were excellent, sweet and briny. We each ordered a Caesar salad, but Shannon advised us that it was large enough to be shareable. More than enough. B ordered the pasta with clams, and I choose the Seafood chowder. The chowder was delicious, but B found the pasta to be too peppery for her tastes. Worse, three of the clams were unopened. We brought this to Shannon's attention, and she offered to put in a new order, but B demured, as she was full. At this point, Owner John Hogan came over to the table to chat. He told us the clams would be taken off the bill, and gave us a gift card, hoping we'd return. He stayed at our table for nearly 30 minutes, and we had a wonderfully engaging conversation with him. We will definitely be going back.

The inside is really cute with lots of seating options. It looks like a home that was converted to a restaurant, so there's a fireplace and a beautiful walls and ceilings that add a lot of character but cozy feel. The food was really good. The pre fixe menu seemed to provide a flavor of what the chef could offer although it wasn't their regular menu. We had the most delicious focaccia with strawberry butter, chicken nuggets and caviar with whipped cream fraiche (interesting combo) for starters, amazing steak frites and baked lobster gnocchi as mains, and fried cheesecake and red grocer for desserts. The staff were so nice and attentive despite a full restaurant and willing to make recommendations when requested. We will definitely be bank when it gets warmer to try the outdoor space!

I think it would be a great place for just some drinks and apps. 3 of us went to dinner there last night. Got the chicken schnitzel vodka spatzle. That's a mouthful lol. The noodles weren't crinkly and toothsome like I'm used to. They were like an overly soft smooth pasta noodle. The vodka sauce didn't have much flavor the dish wasn't bad it just lacked pizazz. We also ordered the curry wurst. I thought I was going to get the wurst on a bun but it came sliced paper thin and dry over some French fries. The flavor was there just dry. Would be better as a whole sausage over the fries. The summer salad was all arugula with a few small pieces of fresh Mozz and a sprinkling of corn and some cherry tomatoes with a balsamic dressing. Super basic for $16 again it was good but uninspired. I'll come back just for the atmosphere alone. Service was great and patio seating was lovely.

I started with the steak wedge salad, which was really tasty--the bacon had a slightly sweet flavor that stood out and complemented the dish nicely. For my entrée, I went with the tomahawk pork chop and a loaded baked potato. The pork chop was cooked well and had great flavor overall, though it leaned just slightly on the salty side. Still very enjoyable, especially paired with the potato. Where things really took off was dessert. Our table ordered a few to share--the brownie, chocolate cake, and crème brûlée cheesecake. The brownie was easily my favorite: rich, soft, and topped with caramel sauce alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Definitely the standout of the night. Service from Eli was good--friendly and helpful. I would have appreciated a bit more check-ins throughout the meal, but nothing that took away from the experience. Overall, a solid visit with great flavors and a few standout dishes. I'd definitely come back, especially for that brownie.

During a visit about a over a month ago, I observed an interaction between a manager and an employee that felt uncomfortable to witness. From a customer perspective, the tone came across as harsh and seemed more appropriate for a private conversation rather than one happening in front of staff and guests. On a more recent visit, I became concerned after overhearing multiple staff members discussing cleanliness-related issues while I was dining. As a customer, hearing those types of conversations during a meal was unsettling and raised concerns for me about overall food safety and sanitation. I want to be clear that I am only sharing what I personally experienced and overheard during my visits. However, as someone with severe allergies, trust in food handling and cleanliness is extremely important to me, and these experiences made me uncomfortable. Because of this, I felt it was appropriate to bring these concerns to the attention of the appropriate authorities so they can be properly reviewed. I hope management takes the opportunity to evaluate both customer experience and internal practices moving forward, as both staff and guests deserve a safe and respectful environment.

From the moment we walked in, the service was amazing. Maria (I believe that was her name) was our waitress, and she was incredible--so warm, attentive, and professional. She even took our anniversary photo for us, which I really appreciated. Another staff member was just as great, constantly clearing our table, removing empty dishes, and refilling our water without us even having to ask. The young lady who brought out our food had the sweetest smile and greeted us so kindly. When I mentioned I didn't really care for the rice balls, they immediately took them back and removed them from our bill--no hesitation. That level of customer care definitely stood out. The space itself is beautiful--very spacious with a great vibe. I loved the ambiance and would absolutely come back. I believe they also have outdoor seating, which I'd love to try next time. Now let's talk about the food: * Grilled octopus: 100000/10 * Truffle fries: 10/10 * Wild mushroom risotto: 10000000000/10 * Seafood fettuccine (can't remember the exact name): 1000000/10 Everything was so good that we filled up on appetizers and had to take most of our entrees home--but honestly, no complaints there! Overall, such a great experience. Highly recommend for a date, celebration, or just a really good meal.
