"When chefs open their own places it’s often about them. Here it’s about the food, excellence hiding in plain sight in the south-city suburbs up the hill from the bay." 9/10.

"...possibly the most extraordinary lobster experience of my dining life. One truly enormous shared lobster with claws thicker than my fist, beautifully cooked with pin-point precision firmness, the crispiest of chips, a textbook hollandaise sauce, a large mound of crab claws, and everything dripping in melted butter." Food 8/10. Value 9/10.

"As for the chef himself, I doubt you’ll find a happier one anywhere in the country, and it certainly shows in the simple but supremely tasty food that he and his kitchen team are turning out. "
