Shrimp was greasy and the breading just slipped off. The steak was way undercooked and tough. Too expensive for poor food quality.

When entering a restaurant where only two other tables were occupied, it was highly disappointing that a request to be moved to a table of the same size could not be accommodated. The table we requested was then not filled until 5 minutes before our departure. So we sat through a meal looking at the empty table we had requested, and three other identical ones went unoccupied. There is simply no reasonable explanation for this, and it soured our experience.

No exterior light near doorway!!! We mentioned to hostess she just said other people mentioned that also. Okay what? Our reservation was for 6:30pm but we had to wait until nearly 7 to be seated “because the previous group had not left our assigned table” we were then escorted to a half empty dining room. No table? Plenty of tables! Two meals were okay but the sirloins were so gristly you couldn’t cut around it or chew it. The ladies room had no toilet paper! This is a restaurant that cost us $500 for a party of 4? Don’t waste your time or good money!

The food and server were excellent. The front of the house seemed disorganized. They went to seat us at a dirty table. We had to wait for them to clean it even though there were multiple tables free and set. The bathrooms were not well kept. Tissue everywhere and looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a while. Plus one toilet was overflowing.

My husband and I met some friends for dinner and drinks at the restaurant. Overall, we had a very nice meal. I would recommend it for a date night, good meal, or even a business meeting.
