Every visit since they opened has only gotten worse. At the beginning they correctly tweaked the menu until they got it right, then for some unknown reason removed many of the better items and didn't replace them, i.e., P.E.I. muscles appetizer, cold cucumber soup, redfish entre, several different salads, among others. The menu now is very limiting, yet as diverse as a Greek diner with no ability to tie an entire dinner together. But hey, I guess some people like having a Southern appetizer, Southwestern entre and a French dessert all in a single meal. Speaking of which, the desserts used to be a standout, but now are too inconsistent, even with the less complicated ones. Also, shrimp gumbo should have more than one shrimp in it. And what happened to little things like starting everyone off with cornbread? Thankfully, the service has remained consistent and very good, including the front of the house, wait staff and bar staff. They have diverse beer and liquor offerings and can pour a decent drink, which you will need to get over the troubling state of what was once a welcome addition to the Upper West, even it was only for a brief period of time. Pros: Staff, attentive service, decent beer list, good drink pours, nice atmosphere Cons: Very limiting memu, food can be inconsistent, mediocre desserts more
