Samantha BennettMarch 5, 2014Came in after a session of ice skating and have some wonderful Lobster bisque with shrimp and it hit the spot, very creamy and just the right temperature. Very clean bathrooms and polite waiter.

Melissa Aponte-NicholsonDecember 31, 2012Voodoo Juice is Awesome! Shrimp and grits was a bit rich. Shrimp and Lobster Bisque needs something to change it up. One note flavors. Def has potential and a beautiful view!- Richard GrayDecember 4, 2013Great Saturday night with some great music food and drinks. We started with blacken shrimp flatbreads and some tuna dip, very good and ended with some beer and memories.

Blackened chicken Alfredo...perfect balance of creamy and spicy.
- Sue OMarch 16, 2017Save your money and dine elsewhere. This place has horrible food and even more horrible service. About the only thing going for them is the view...oh, and they have clean dishes.

"Okay okay just one last tip, I promise. The MoMA salad is TO DIE FOR. You can also add fish, shrimp, or chicken to make it more filling. I topped mine with blackened Mahi and LOVED IT!"
