    Service was outstanding on a very busy night. Not rushed at all. Beautiful decorations. The only food complaint was the Beef Wellington was very well done and chewy. My husband ordered the combination plate with filet, shrimp and chicken and said it was excellent. Waitress offered to have them make mine over, but I don’t like to waste food so I just ate it.

    We went there on New Years eve. We had reservations for 5 o'clock at a table by the window. Reservations made weeks in advance. Two days before date, they called to say reconfiguring main room for the night. We can put you by window inside room. We said ok. when we arrived, they took us to a table in the middle of an aisle. I was horrible. There was no room to next table for servers or staff to get by. Before we sat down, we were bumped and pushed my staff. We tried to sit down but impossible. We told the girl we were to sit by the window and that you called to say that you were doing that. We decided to reconfigure. I am sorry. So bad we just left. We were treated like a poor relative. We know business is business and they wanted to cater to larger crowds. If they do not want to bother with 2 or 4 couples than they should state that up front. Reservations for six or more. I guess loyalty doesn't matter to them anymore. We have been going there since they opened. Infact, during covid we went once a week for takeout. We were told, by then manager Joe we did the most take out We were one of the first ones back after covid. Will we go back? I don't know. Will we recommend them anymore? Doubtful. We do not want nor seek any compensation for this, we are writing this so that they may review their business tactics and professionalism. So that it won't happen to others.

    I LOVE THIS PLACE. IT'S THE MOST STUNNING RESTAURANT I'VE BEEN IN, YET SO COMFORTABLE AND FRIENDLY. MY SERVER MARTHA ANTICIPATES MY NEEDS AND THE FOOD (I HAD THE SCALLOPS AND ADDED A LOBSTER TAIL) IS OUTSTANDING.

    While a lovely restaurant to dine, it lacks in food quality and quantity and over-priced for the overall experience. It appears the restaurant is more concerned with its finances than pleasing customers. I visited for a milestone birthday and was not pleased with the table that I requested in advance. Also, I found it odd that the complementary birthday treat was a free appetizer at next visit coupon tucked inside a card. The service was friendly but mistakes were made that resulted in a missing salad and vegetable with another plate. Again, not the experience I hoped for and will visit other restaurants in the area to celebrate special events.
