   We had an amazing office Christmas lunch. Everything was delicious from the appetizers to desserts. Service was very good and my boss said the price was incredibly reasonable for all that we got.

   There were three of us. Two of us had soup, lobster bisque and french onion, which were good. The birthday gentleman asked the waitress about a special (seafood boullaibase) and the lamb chops. She said she has tried both and then pointed him toward the Boullaibase. His was very bland and when the waitress asked how everything was, he mentioned he didn’t care for it and thought it would have some tomato in it and she said ‘oh I don’t know, I be never had it’. 🤔. My husband ordered the grouper and it was ‘adequate’ and he’s had better in less notable restaurants. I ordered the shrimp piccata over eggplant and it was not good. The eggplant was very greasy so I only ate the shrimp. Our reservation made note of a birthday, yet it was overlooked, even though we ordered dessert. I fully expected candles and a song. It was not even mentioned. And he specifically requested we go to E&E for his birthday. We will not be going back.

   Used to have a salad included. Veggies tasted frozen not fresh, but salmon was delicious.

   Been coming here for years but the last few times have been less than ideal. Tonight was the final straw. Went for a birthday dinner. Ordered two filets (9oz and 6oz) medium rare. Both came overdone at medium well or well done. We told the waitress but declined to send them back because it had already taken quite a bit of time to get our meals. But in the end we just didn’t enjoy the steaks so left 3/4 of them untouched. The waitress finally realized we weren’t pleased with our meals and called the manager over. She did give us a round of drinks free and tried to give us a free dessert for the birthday but by then we were just done. Service was slow, food was overcooked and flavorless, and the price was ridiculous for the quality of food. Not a place we’ll go back to. It’s a shame because this used to be a great restaurant.

   Jillian was phenomenal. We frequent E&E and she's one of the best we've ever had.

   Early dinner menu fabulous. I had Asian glazed salmon, cooked to perfection, as was my companion’s petite beef filet. Attentive, prompt service. Always a great experience. Highly recommend.

   We were not happy with the booth. Too small for adults. Uncomfortable . We asked to change and got no responce. There were plenty of tables for 4 with 2 people seated. We had a reservation for 4:15. Food was great. Just not seated comfortably. I guess next time we need to be more specific when we make reservations although I think we should have been accommodated since it was early enough and the restaurant want that crowded.

    E & E is one of our favorite restaurants and love everything about it. Have never had a problem recommending it to friends and Business Associates. When we want a good meal we go to E&E. The Early Bird is a great Value.
