I believe it was a BYOB. Not bad food. I had a steak and I believe it was cooked as ordered. I'll try to find my review (i had posted it on this forum) call me silly ,but you mentioned 50-60 people for a party....I'd be pressed to say they can handle parking for that many, but I don't remember if they have a back lot.

Mon Nov 24 12:29:33 -0800 2008 4198469 155369 RPMcMurphy 1 4199050 I haven't been there in years, but in the many times I went, service was well above average. If you like seafood (this is a seafood restaurant), I recommend the mixed shellfish appetizer. I believe it consists of oysters, clams, shrimp cocktail, and crab chunks. Be sure to ask for extra creamy mustard sauce on the side. As far as entrees, be aware that many dishes come smothered in beurre blanc sauce, which is a little heavy for my taste. Ask for it on the side. The specials are usually good bet- including appetizers and entrees. Recently, my husband really enjoyed the beef carpaccio with truffle oil. Two decent regular-menu entrees are grilled swordfish with capers and the penne vodka shrimp entree.

They may not be the most creative place but they are very reliable for good quality food. Sun Dec 14 09:39:40 -0800 2008 4198469 231129 tantesheri
