Ate here for a business dinner. New menu, smaller but simple. I got sea bass and crispy sprouts and whipped potatoes; all was delicious. No room for dessert unfortunately, maybe next time.

Very highly rated and upscale. Prices are worth the quality, service and ambiance. Very Knowledgeable bar staff and premier liquors you can’t find at most bars in the city.

We’re baaaack! For every single special occasion in our family, we unanimously choose Shoemakers for dinner. Celebrating my daughters 21st birthday, and my sisters birthday we headed there tonight. We were looking forward to seeing how the new chef is doing. Well, he’s doing VERY well!!

I truly enjoyed my experience here. I loved the expresso martini so much that I actually had two. The food was spectacular. The crab cake was a little small but it wasn’t filled with filler, which I appreciated. I also got the green house salad. The dressing was delicious. For entrees, I got the salmon. It was cooked beautifully! The cheesecake was the icing on top. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Went there for my birthday dinner. The atmosphere was nice. It was a little dark in there but the outdoor seating area was very inviting. Food was wonderful and portions were extremely generous. Our waitress, Payne, was amazing. She was polite, informative, and very nice. She made sure our drinks were full and was checked on us throughout our meal. I will be asking for her when we return.

Arrived without knowing what I was getting into, but was thoroughly impressed by how quickly we were seated, the food was incredible, and the staff was more than impressive. Our waitress, Caressa, was attentive, polite, and more than helpful with suggestions. Even the Restaurant Manager stopped by to ask about our meal. Executive Chef Scholly has remarkable taste with the new menu. The crab bisque is itself worth returning for. The sesame crusted tuna was beyond incredible. The Brussel sprouts were amazing. And the main course was unmatched. Everything arrived as it was supposed to, perfectly hot. And the desserts were a perfect ending to possibly the most incredible meal I have ever had.

What a difference a year makes! The first picture is from last winter. The second last weekend. My wife and I have frequented this restaurant at least 3 or 4 times a year for the past 8 years. Not sure we’ll be back.
