If I could give it zero stars I would!!! We attempted to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday. The service was extremely slow. We were the first to be seated and the last to be served. A table of Caucasian customers received their entrees before we even received our salads. I guess they were the owner’s golf buddies. There was a fly in our glass! After speaking with the owner, he was very sarcastic and attempted to place blame on the server. After the other tables had eaten and left, our food then began to come out. After dining here a few times before, this will be our absolute last time! Horrible and totally unacceptable dining experience!

This is a nice place to have a date night or a nice dinner out. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Though the food service was a bit slow. The drinks weren’t too bad.

The host acted as if we were walk-ins on New Year’s Eve, but we had a reservation. He didn’t even look at the book, and told us seating was so limited there was only one option, a table in the middle near the front, which he acted like was the worst table in the house (it was fine). I reminded him again that we had a reservation because he seemed so perturbed, and he said dismissively “I understand that but . . . .” The servers were all very nice, but seemed confused. Our server asked if we were ready to order drinks, but we had no drink menu. The appetizer took a long time, to the extent that our server said “I did bring you your oysters didn’t I?” (She had not.) The flatware was hodgepodge, and my napkin only contained a small salad fork, although my husband’s contained two full-sized dinner forks. The oysters Rockefeller and our salmon entrees were smothered in cream sauce, which I understand is appealing to some diners, but I like to taste the food and have the sauce lightly accent it. Having said all that, the salmon was good once I spooned as much of the heavy sauce off it as I could, and the side vegetables were good too. Unfortunately not a great experience overall.

Poor quality, poor presentation . Calamari appetizer was the smallest portion I’ve ever seen – 8 pieces. My veggie dish looked old . Place is nice, server did her best; but we left our food ; didn’t even take it home. I expected more for the price .

This restaurant should be 40% cheaper for what it offers. Food taste was good but not great. Parking was tight even on a not so busy night. Service was slow and the order was inaccurate. We did not receive the sides that we ordered accurately, and the the food was cold by the time it hit our table. I am not very picky when it comes to these things, but I had to send it back for reheating. The server was attentive though. She was very apologetic about all of this. In my opinion, this is a good restaurant but not so good to justify approaching $30 for per entrée.

The atmosphere is nice but the food and the wait staff are not good. I hate to be negative but this needs to be fixed. First off, the appetizer plates had 4 small ants of them. The food price and the food quantity were completely different. I got Chicken Piccata and they gave me the smallest piece of chicken and filled up the rest of the plate with vegetables. The atmosphere is beautiful though. Only redeeming quality I saw. The staff are disrespectful to each other. We waited a solid 35 minutes for drinks and an hour for the food.

The food is fantastic and prompt. Drinks were delicious and reasonable. All of the staff was so nice and treated us as though we were regulars even though it was our first time going. Our server was Angela and she made our night!

Inside too dark to see while eating, so sketchy. Loud speakers playing (at the same time) as live singing (the songs were completely different). The restaurant was empty which caught me and my friend off guard given the outside appearance of the restaurant seemed nice. Server reported things are slow all the time, wonder why. Even though no one else was in the restaurant we waited forever for food that was not worth the wait or cost. Will not be back, do not recommend.

It looks very nice, it seems very nice. But the food is not that great. I had the chicken Parmigian, and there was nothing special about it. The sauce was bland. Maybe the chef was having a bad day. They included a tomato with the stem still attached in the sauce. The price was high enough that i was expecting a great meal. Just not impressed.
