    My table loved their dishes but mine was the steak frites which was passable, falling short of preparation and quality. I order it to be medium, but it was cooked to medium well on most of the steak but one side was very rare. I never had such an inconsistent steak like that before. The meat was tough, too. I think I will pass on this dish on my next visit and get the smash burger which looked amazing. The cocktails and deserts were very good, as well.

    Our server was outstanding. I believe his name is Jacob and he did a great job for a party of 10 oysters were outstanding quality and flavor very fresh.

    Great location and good food. Service was spotty and they seemed understaffed. Server was slow to serve us and did not check-in. To pay, I had to walk around the restaurant until I could find help. Service very disappointing.

    While service was nice, the food quality was severely lacking. The 1/2 chicken came out raw — the manager quickly rectified but the rest of the food for our party was not good either.

    Loved it. The food was perfect. The Rockfish appetizer was my fave and the oysters. Service was excellent. Chef came out and spoke to several of the guests. Steak was perfectly cooked tender and juicy according to my husband. The sauce on my striped bass was phenomenal! Pricy but worth it!!

    Lovely setting with a stunning view of the City. Good was delicious, service was friendly but not very consistent. Lots of variety in terms of price, from very expensive to moderate.

    The food and service was fantastic. The ambiance is almost there, being situated in a beautiful hotel, but it could be better inside. The views are nice if there weather is cooperating and I’m sure dining outside gives the atmosphere I was hoping for.

    This was a horrible experience -- and embarrassing as we had out-of-town guests. They brought us drinks, then asked for dinner orders, no mention of appetizers. We ended up with our pre-dinner drinks and a terrible dinner. The Oxtail was so greasy it was not edible. They never asked for a dessert order, coffee, nothing. We had looked forward to this visit with our guests, but the evening was ruined by an staff that paid no attention and food not worthy of the price. Needless to say we will never be back.
