Everything about The Boathouse was on point. From the service down to all of the entries we had, everything was fantastic. My wife had the lobster roll and loved it. I had the Filet Mignon sliders and the baked potato and they were great as well. Drinks were also outstanding and from a value standpoint, we were very satisfied. There’s a reason the Boathouse is a standout restaurant, and tonight was another reason why we’ll be back.

Probably my 15th time to visit Morimoto Asia. This is one of the most consistent dining experiences we have ever experienced. The food is always delicious. Our server Miyuki was exceptional. She was attentive, helpful with suggestions. She paced the food delivery perfectly. I cannot say enough good things about this experience.

Excellent quality sushi prepared with a sophisticated twist. Great selection of fish. Service was very attentive and professional. Ambiance was fine but the lights would occasionally turn off and music would blast for a few minutes which was a bit confusing and irritating.

We went to Matthew’s for our wedding anniversary celebration. The food was excellent, service was good, nice ambiance too. We had a table for 2 that was large, and the restaurant was very busy, so it was hard to talk. Next time we will request a booth. Highly recommend the lobster bisque and filet mignon. Delicious! Owner was present and she was very attentive and personable. We will be back!

The mushroom and chive roulade is wonderful. Follow that up with a filet mignon and you will be a happy camper.
