"Atmosphere was good. Service was ok. Not bad but not great... just average. We made reservations and were seated promptly. Octopus was not my thing but wife thought it was ok. Tasted a little dry and like cold turkey. But I'm not the expert in seafood. My main complaint was the Ribeye... it presented well, came out nice and thick and juicy... however the sauce it came with was not good. I have never had to add salt and pepper to a steak before, but the meat was so flavorless that I felt I had to to bring out the flavor by adding some. I asked for medium rare but I think it was a little too rare. The potatoes that came as a side were burt black, and the brocollini was a little under cooked to my liking."

"Very good. I met with a friend on over the weekend for lunch and there was no wait; we were seated right away. Service was attentive and polite. The food was pretty good, though not particularly filling. I enjoyed the crab cakes and would opt for the fries instead of the salad I’d given another chance. Reasonably priced for the area (~90 for 2 people with tip). I parked in the neighborhood several streets over (free). Would visit again!"

"Absolutely lovely date night place. You get your money's worth here! My date and I both got sushi, I ended up splurging for the Rockfish, and we shared the fresh-baked bread and the lava cake for dessert. The server was absolutely PHENOMENAL and it was her first day as a server in general! Got a seat on the first floor right next to the fireplace. Doesn't feel too crowded, not too casual - perfect for a semi-fancy anniversary dinner. 10/10."

"We were so looking forward to a good seafood place. We were going for my boyfriend’s birthday and we just left wanting more. I do think the seafood was very fresh, but the flavors were not there. We could’ve gone to a good seafood market and cooked it at home. We go out to explore innovative, and things that are reach in our cooking level and all four of us just felt we wanted more. The tuna tacos were probably the best dish we had. Also the drinks were not that good. If you have mobility issues, make sure you asked to be put on the first floor. There was lots and lots of stairs in the room we were in was a little warm. We are still looking for a good seafood place doesn’t have to be fancy, but it Has to be tasty."

"We came here for a graduation celebration, and were not disappointed. The restaurant has two levels, divided into several areas that are all charming and cozy. Everything we had, from appetizers, cocktails, entrees, and dessert, was outstanding in taste, and presentation. Our server was attentive and friendly, as was the staff. This place is a must visit when in Virginia!"
