You're pretty much paying for the ambiance/location Overall I wouldn't consider this fine dining for the quality. The lobster & king crab was cooked perfectly. When I think of beans I think of southern cooking not fine dining. The octopus was delicious but serving it on a bed of beans is very weird. The waitress kept raving on and on about the fries but it was anything but mediocre, at least add some truffle or parmesan for the way she was talking about it.

Half of my fish was just slightly overcooked and the scallops had good flavor but weren't great.
