    Service was slow and there were not so many people so it is unclear why. Plus were not offered the special on Wed/Thurs/Fri…asked twice about that. Food was generous but mixed - shrimp with honey & garlic was too salty and too much sauce.

    Last night's wine dinner had great food. The reason I don't always go is because of the menu selections for the wine dinners. Last night's was very good but the filet mignon was a little overcooked. The waitresses were extremely friendly, helpful and efficient.

    Food was very good. Was there for about 2 hours, waited for 30 min before getting a drink. Again, food was delicious— just don’t be in a hurry.

    Service was slow and staff seemed stressed. Waited over an hour for food and waitress told us it was because the kitchen had so many take-out orders! One we were served, the food was excellent and good-sized portions on both entrees.
