The drinks were good, but expensive. You shouldn't charge $14.25 for an old fashioned that uses mid-range bourbon. The oysters were great. The appetizer was unpleasant. About half the entrees were good, the other half just OK (we were a group of 10 and tried each other's plates). Service was pretty good. Overall I'd still go again except for the cost; we spent about $120 per person, before gratuity, and it just didn't feel worth it.
