    Unfortunately they had over an hour waiting for our table. Even though we had a reservation. You would think a restaurant that has been in business for such a long time would had better management skills honoring our reservation time. We will never come back during any special day. We were charged for life music we couldn’t even hear.

    We had to wait 20 minutes and we had a confirmed reservation! The table was fine, server was ok and the food just ok. Christmas Eve dining was definitely overpriced for the meal. Entertainment was really loud too. Over all just an OK dining experience!

    When we arrived for our reservation we were told we would have to be out of our table in an hour and 15 minutes. I understand the restaurant being busy on Christmas Eve, but if we were going to be limited to an hour we should have been told when we made the reservations and they required us to put a deposit on the reservation. The music started 15 minutes before our dinner was over and yet we were each charged $3 as a music fee. The food was excellent as usual. However, the experience was way below expectation

    Highly overpriced ripoff! Not sure if its just that they thought they could steal more money from patrons because its xmas eve but to pay 84 dollars for an entree for "7 fishes" and there only be 1 shrimp as one of the 7 fishes is not right. Not even a jumbo prawn. This was a small shrimp. There were two scallops on the smaller side also. Very small lobster tail that was under cooked and you couldnt get it out of the shell. Spent almoSt 120 for my meal and left hungry. Also my 15 dollar drink was watered down alcohol. I know what water in alcohol tastes like not an authentic mixed drink. So disappointed! Service was horrible too. The only checked on us for order. Never came back with the breat my 14 month old son wanted to eat after we asked for a piece for him. This is by far the most disappointing xmas eve meal we have ever had.

    I eat here roughly once a week and have enjoyed this restaurant for years. That’s why I was shocked at last nights dinner when the service and food went down drastically. It’s a new waiter so I can excuse it this time but wow… when I asked for grated cheese he went over to the next table (who had finished their meal and left) and grabbed their used bowl of grated cheese and gave it to use… is that even legal? Obviously I ate the eggplant without the grated cheese. Historically the service staff has been excellent. But this guy needs to learn this isn’t a third world country and customers have standards.

    Great food, great service with Ceaser. We were next to music so it was a little difficult to talk at the table during dinner.

    Always a delicious meal. The Dolce eggplant appetizer is so good. Love the pear pasta purses with Gorgonzola cream sauce. If they have the pistachio cheesecake get it.
