Worst dining experience ever. The server (John D according to the name printed on the bill) seemed intoxicated the whole night. He didn't listen - at all! He took our order then asked us what kind of bread we would like, but didn't inform us that there would be an extra charge. The bread was cold and greasy, barely edible, but we still had to pay for this. Our food was brought to the table by some random guy who was sitting at the bar. They charged us 20% gratuity when the dinner club card we were using states 15%. John D refused to alter the bill and spoke in the most condescending manner when we pointed out this discrepancy. What a rip-off. Very unprofessional staff. The upstairs dining hall is basically another bar, so you get to hear people swearing over a basketball game. Would not recommend to anyone who values a courteous server or who wants to pay their bill without frivolous charges added.

The freshest raw bar I've been to. Great fresh seafood and lobsters. On Tuesdays they have $1 oysters and shrimp and .50 cent clams. Great food.
