It took 1 and a half hours for us to get our food for our date night on Saturday. They didn’t mention that they were running behind until 10 minutes before our food came out. It took them 25 minutes to serve our drinks. They forgot to bring us the bread until I asked for it 40 minutes into us being there. Mind you we still didn’t have our entrees. They forgot parts of our order. And they spilled water in front of our booth and didn’t bother to clean it up, and I almost slipped on our way out because of the water spill. The things that were good where the live saxophonist playing Christmas music and the food when it came out. For our date night, the experience wasn’t worth the price and we ended up running late to our next date night reservation. We arrived at 7:03pm, didn’t get out drinks until 7:28pm, got our bread 7:43pm, and didn’t eat until 8:15ish pm. Our next date night event was at 8:30pm. Unfortunately, very disappointing.

The bone marrow and grilled octopus was beyond expectations. A must reorder for our next visit. The entrees bone-in ribeye, fillet and lobster are top notch at a good value

Service was excellent and very attentive! We ordered, 1) Octopus w/greens which was ok as I’ve tried others with more flavor, 2) Lobster Pan Roast was good with a good variety of seafood but gravy was a little too rich, 3) ribeye steak with bone-in was excellent with good marbling n seasoning, 4) smashed potatoes was ok but I probably would just order a regular baked potato next time, 5) corn brûlée was the least favorite as it was too sweet with the cream like sauce that you couldn’t taste the corn so we hardly touched it and last but not least 6) dessert was beignets with vanilla macadamia nut ice cream n chocolate sauce …. excellent!!! They also had a live saxophone player that was very good. He did go around the restaurant playing at tables but didn’t make it to ours but that’s ok as we didn’t want to be disturbed but did enjoy his music from a distance. I would come back and try other side dishes with my steak again.
