    Service- Made a 9:30 p.m reservation, got my table at 10:45, I left the restaurant at 12:20am, I had high hopes for this place as it was my first time here, I’m very dissatisfied and probably won’t come back. Food- Food was good tho…

    Understandably being Valentine’s Day is busy but to wait an hour and half after our reservations is a bit much. With a three year old waiting for us at home and we get home close to midnight is terrible. Orders were messed up. What food we did get was good though.

    Excellent experience. Our chef, Sheridan did a superb job! The wait for our table was a bit long. We weren’t seated until 45 minutes after our reservation time.

    Reservation was for Valentines Day so restaurant was packed! That made it pretty loud and hot. We barely found parking and people were parked where they shouldn’t be or had to park a block away. We ordered cocktails, they were barely cold, didn’t taste like the last time we ordered them, they could have been better. Waitress ID a gentle man at the table that had gray hair and gray beard and told him “not to take that as a compliment she has to ID all!” Then the Waitress was enamored by my husband big feet and kept calling him big foot and commented on them all night. The chef was soft spoken so little hard to hear him at times. He put on a an okay show throughout the dinner, he was attentive and made sure everyone food was cooked to ordered which extended them time but for me worth the wait! All my seafood was cooked perfectly! The bussers were on it, clearing plates as we finished courses, keeping water cups were filled, cleaning.
