"I never do this but I was so disappointed I feel the need to. It was my first time there last evening ( 4 of us) and was beyond excited to try it. We ordered 3 apps… shrimp cocktail, ahi tacos , and a California roll. These were “ ok” but nothing like the description which sounded AMAZING. Mind you each app came out separately and we were never given any clean plates to use. Now onto dinner… I ordered the branzino… there was ZERO seasoning on my fish… the gentleman sitting and a table next to me let me use his salt…. BUT the kicker was my potatoes. Being in the service industry I would NEVER have even brought them to my guest. They were BLACK! Just bad all around. And I know this sounds minuscule but our table wobbled. And time someone leaned it wobbled causing items to fall off our table etc. for a 260$ tab I will never go back. Super disappointed"

"Dinned with a group of coworkers to get drinks and appetizers. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful, very knowledge of the bourbon based drinks, & patient. Most popular at the table was the smoked "Hook's Old Fashion" - was very smooth & delightful with the Bardstown Burbon, apple spiced bitters & demerara syrup. I ordered the "Catch 75" - the gin with St. Germain was a beautiful balance with the topped prosecco. I love the blue ombre orchard - added an elegant touch. Next, we ordered the "Smoked Trout Dip" & the "Calamari" appetizers. The dip was beyond amazing - I usually don't enjoy trout but was very pleased! The calamari was flash fried with red peppers, lemons, & jalapeños. I was happy they were the rings and full tentacles, rather than the sticks. Before I left, I always like to try versions of my go to kamikaze shot with tequila - very smooth but a bit too much lime. All in all, we enjoyed the atmosphere, crafted cocktails, & happy hour menu appetizers. Will be a returning customers in due future!"

"Pros: New spot, food was ok our server was great. The atmosphere feels high scale. Cons: Essentially Valet parking only as spots are non existent. Our plates already had chips and paint missing and water glasses were smudged. The men's bathroom had a full waste bin and a empty paper towel dispenser. It's also in the middle of a marina, forget nice lake views. Summary, would be 5 star if it were cheaper but for how much you spend I couldn't look past some of the basics."

"Raw chicken served!!!! Really excited to try this place. Seeing chef Bobby on channel 2 over the years. Sunday football down at eastern market. First the menu was limited. No drink menu. No frozen drinks. Water bar and no blender….. main dinning room is all remodeled. The huge bar in the center of the dinning room is too much. Trying to be fish bones. Outside area not much has changed. Tables look refurbished. Now to the food. Menu has each price for the oysters, but told i had to order in quantities of 6. Cocktail sauce was premade. I prefer fresh horseradish & ketchup I can mix to my liking. Overall that was the best dish. Fish and chips served a huge piece of fish with a crust that was a little greasy and no flavor. Nothing special about the fries. Now for the worst part. Raw chicken. See the pictures. Big no no to serve raw chicken. Over cook it. Never serve it raw. Looked great overall, but the presentation was too much and the focus, not making sure the food was actually cooked. I will not be back. The Vivian the manager was nice and came over. Our entire bill should’ve just been comped or a gift certificate to come back. Something. Food is also very over priced. A small draft beer $7."
