   We came in town and dined on Christmas Eve, they were very busy but the staff was SO wonderful despite their extremely heavy load. Highly recommend. If they can hold up under that extreme pressure, they WILL NOT disappoint on a regular night!

   I booked a reservation for Christmas Eve two weeks in advance. I also had to confirm the reservation twice, after my booking. We arrived exactly on time, I’m punctual, and they still needed 20 minutes to seat us. It took 48 MINUTES after the reserved time until they contacted us for seating. When I book a place like this I pay for service it was sub par. It’s apparent that they cannot scale for customers and service suffered. Sorry I have to be that guy but it’s not necessary with their throughput.

   I mean I totally understand how hours such as dinner for Christmas Eve could be very busy, but we’ve waited for way too long and the food is quite disappointing. We ordered the stuffed salmon and the pasta but there’s fish bone in the dish and I felt like the food is not safe to consume. Pasta was cold and stale. Attitude of servers not great

   Bar was 45 minutes behind. Appetizers done before we even received our first round of drinks. Side dishes in our plates were cold and steaks overdone. Waitress continually apologizing and clearly doing her best was the only thing that remotely saved the entire experience.

   Reservations for 3. I ordered Chilean Sea Bass..Not available. I ordered Parmasean crusted Flounder..Oh we just sold the last one. I then said I wanted the Salmon that was to be topped wit Shrimp scamp but wanted the sides from the Chilean Sea bass. First was told they could not do that. Then a manager came over and said she would check. She came back and said they could. Great!! Then we waited forever for our drinks. It was also very cold in the restaurant. Had to ask to have the heat turned up. Then our orders came. My order was still wrong. No Shrimp Scampi. My daughter never got the salad she ordered. They said they would take the salad off the bill. They did not. My neice had a ceasar salad with Salmon. Salmon had many bones in it. This was all shared with the manager who said she would tell the chef. Due to everything that went wrong "Since You Walked In the Door" said the manger we will provide free desert. We ordered Chocolate Mouse Cake to go. It was terrible. Down the disposal it went. Overall I must say they really did not care that our experience, at no fault of ours, may be one of the worst ever!!!! A wonderful evening was ruined by this experience

   The wait staff while plesant was terrible with service and timing. The food was slow to come and the drinks were so slow to come that even if we had wanted more than one drink we would of been into desert before the 2nd round came. I have dined at this location 2 times in the past and the experience then was excellent. This experience was so annoying I will pass this location for other restaurants near.

   Our waitress looked like she was on drugs. She was super slow and would forget everything. Took an hour for her to refill waters. Other drinks took 30 minutes to get. Food took an hour. It was not until we talked to a manager and got a new waitress that things got better.

   We've dined there many times but this was definitely an off night. The restaurant was packed due to the numerous shows in town, and the quality of the food suffered. The hard working waitress was a real trouper and was not to blame. My son's mussels were so gritty they were inedible. They were replaced with a batch that was better. My husband's chowder was not hot and had far too many potatoes, and the French fries that were served with his shrimp were cold. The cost of the meal was exorbitant for the food that was served.
