    We had an amazing experience! The hostess was incredibly professional, seating us right on time despite the bustling crowd. Our server was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. He made sure to check on us regularly, even though the restaurant was incredibly busy. The service truly made our evening special. We can’t wait to come back!

    Came Dec 27th for early dinner (6:15p) and had a truly exceptional dining experience. We started with the chicken and caviar sliders which was fried lightly to perfection. The pickle on it was crisp and added the right amount of tanginess. We also got the Parker House rolls….OMG so so good. It comes with 6 so plan accordingly when you order! You’ll want more than one. I also had the soup of the day which was a potato leek along with the Duck Confit and my husband had the Halibut. We pairs that with the Brussels which were perfectly made. Geez everything was so so good! My husband also enjoyed a Dunbar cocktail which he thoroughly enjoyed. No dessert for us this time so can’t comment on that. I will say the service, reception and all support staff were excellent as well. We were very well taken care of, didn’t want for attention. At the end of our meal the manager of guest experience Dooreyah came over and spent a thoughtful amount of time with us soliciting feedback and making herself available to ensure our experience was exactly as it should be. 10/10 we will be back!

    Excellent. I have been there 30 years ago and it was a delight to go again it was a very nice experience. Loved the sand dabs fish and they serve the best mash potatoes! The steak fries are to die for. My son said it was the best New York steak he ever had. He was turning 14 years old. He will always remember Dear John’s and his bday celebration. The cheese cake was delicious. And the wine list is exquisite. I just can’t wait to go back !

    Had Christmas Eve dinner at Tin Roof Bistro. We were seated promptly and food and service were delightful as always except for one thing: My husband ordered the special dessert of Bread Pudding. It really wasn't as described, and looked like we got the last bit of the pan it was baked in. There was almost no moisture - very little custard, no apples or cranberries, just a lot of toasted bread cubes, some burnt. We asked the waiter where was the fruit and rather than bringing us a proper portion from a new pan, he brought a ramekin of cranberries to add to it. Too bad - we saw another table's bread pudding and it looked amazing. If you are running out of a special, best to 86 it rather than try and scrape out one more substandard serving.
