Southend (other locations further away) Great atmosphere, decorated with detail and coziness. I am not a big meat eater but tried a steak after a few visits. I still would say shrimp or veggies dish but the riveted was incredible. My husband had the filet and said its been one of the best he has had. He is originally from Canada and traveled all over. A friend from NC said the scallops were the best she has had. They make a nice cocktail too
