Crab and corn chowder was very flavorful. The crab risotto had all my favorites: mushrooms, spinach, garlic, egg, crab. Excellent. Service was attentive. Sound level was a bit noisy for me.

Underwhelming atmosphere, staff were sort of all over the place. Good fish, but that doesn't counterbalance the weaknesses that pop up on other parts of the menu.
