We went for the Valentines Day special menu. It was delicious and a quite good value at $60 price fixed for a four course meal. The crab topped fillet with asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes was great. The kitchen was a bit slow but understandable on a busy night. Our waitress was very nice and apologized for the delay. My only objection was about something visible from my table outside. A man standing on the sidewalk just outside the restaurant was engaged in obscene behavior. I can’t imagine I was the only person aware of this. While it’s not the responsibility of the restaurant to control the activities of people outside, they may want to consider window treatments that block the view. It’s a sad commentary on life in our cities that such things go on and barely get a notice anymore.

Great lunch with friends! Enjoyed Fish Katherine and shrimp and grits, lemon blueberry tart was yummy and cotton candy too!! If you get the burger, be hungry because it’s a double decker!! The staff was also extremely nice and professional.
