   Went here for my husband’s birthday last night. We were sat quickly even though we were very early for our reservation. Our server Marshall was very nice and wasn’t overbearing but attentive. It took quite a while for our bread appetizer to come out and when it did the bread was still cold in the center like they hadn’t microwaved it long enough. When our steaks came out, my husbands was cold. So much so that his butter never even melted on top. He’s not one to complain and said taste was still good enough so he ate it regardless. I had a filet that was a little pink for my preference, tasted ok, definitely have had better steaks for that price point. The two sides we ordered were middle of the road taste wise also. Overall, while it wasn’t the worst steakhouse we’ve ever been to, it was not what it was made out to be and we won’t be returning.

   The food was amazing. Our group of four ordered a few cocktails which included generous pours. Between us we had the the calamari, Lamb Stroganoff, lobster bisque, lamb kabobs and the lobster risotto. Everyone raved about their individual meals. I had the risotto and it was amazing! Bits of lobster throughout and the tail on top was cooked perfectly. I had a bit of my husband’s lamb kabobs and almost couldn’t decide which dish I preferred. The portions were very generous and a little of everything came home with us. My parents split a creme brûlée; the custard was quite good but the brûlée was a bit thin for my taste. My husband ordered the carrot cake to go. I’ll try a bit tomorrow but it looked divine. Wendi provided great service. She was attentive, knowledgeable and entertaining. All around a successful first visit. We’ll be back!

   The new management and freedom that has been given to the Chef is definitely apparent as the overall menu and experience is now one worthy of putting on your list for an enjoyable evening out.

   Beyond excellent waiter and management service. Very tasty food selections and wine pairings. A bit noisy as we were seated in the bar area but overall a wonderful experience for our birthday celebration! Perfect setting on the water - highly recommend.

   We had lunch on Friday, and food and service were both excellent. The NY Strip was cooked perfectly, and Fish and Chips were very good also.
