Pros: Cartoons on the walls
Cons: Food, price, you name it!
The Bottom Line: Avoid it like the plague. Which is what you'll feel like you have, if you eat the seafood.

Let's start with full disclosure: I got food poisoning at this restaurant. I guess you could say that colored my opinion.
What kind of fool eats oysters at a steak restaurant? A non-beefeater. But if a restaurant can't prepare oysters properly, they shouldn't serve them. They certainly shouldn't charge those prices for them.
Frankly, even if I hadn't gotten sick, I'd give this place a thumbs down. My client paid $74 for the lobster I ordered. I asked for the smallest one, and got a 4-pounder. Lobsters that big just don't taste good. Maybe they're too old. The optimum lobster size is 1-2 lbs. If you're gonna charge $72 for a plate o'food, it should taste good.
My colleagues enjoyed their steaks, but I heard a bit of grumbling--"Not THAT good," they said, meaning the quality did not keep up with the price.
One of those joints that just coasts along on its (undeserved) reputation.
