Read a local article that said this place had just opened up a second location not far from me, so I decided to check it out with my girlfriend. I will preface this with I have not been to the (more established) location near 41, so its possible these guys haven't had time to get their ducks in a row yet.

As for the actual review:
Service -
service was great, if a little too enthusiastic. We made a reservation on OpenTable for outdoor seating which was promptly honored (think we were maybe 5 minutes late)
Location -
great location for accessibility, there's an (optional) valet as you drive past the store frontage into the deck beneath the Modera apartment complex. I always park in the deck since its a very short walk and there's almost always spots available.
Food+Price -
this is where the spot takes a big hit unfortunately. This is a top dollar restaurant and expect to pay $100+ for two. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, the double lobster tail, some broiled oysters, and 4 of the different cocktail drinks on the menu. My girlfriend enjoyed the two sweeter drinks on the menu (Violette Kiss & No. 9) but the other two I tried were just weird. One was a take on an old fashioned and the other was a mezcal drink (Rush Hour). The old fashioned wasn't bad but was not terribly good either (for $16 at that)
The prawns were very large, but flavor veered closer to fishy than fresh.
The lobster tails were overcooked, being a tad chewy.
I did not try the oysters, so its possible my girlfriend just decided she doesn't like oysters, but she wasn't impressed.

Might go back to try some of the other items on the menu such as the steaks or the chowder, but overall this was not worth the money.
