Was a very nice lunch they were accommodating to our requests. The Halibut was the special and it was to my liking. The Martini I ordered was perfect just like I remember. I really enjoyed the time we spent there we need to go back soon.

First time dining at this restaurant, food and service were good but the seating was terrible. We had a little two top table not next to the service station with the waiters and waitresses but literally in the service station. I haven’t heard one of the waitresses comment that oh boy this is gonna be really tight tonight as she hit my chair with her hip as far value goes it was $100 without any alcohol and that included an appetizer which was fantastic, we ordered the bruschetta. We both ordered an entrée. I ordered the salmon and my wife ordered a pasta dish and then we split a tiramisu. It was great for date night but it’s not going to be on our top five restaurants that we love to go to.

You can’t go wrong with any of the Scott Harris restaurants. This one just happens to be our favorite. I had the halibut Vesuvio for the first time and it was fantastic. I highly recommend it. The service is always spot on and the vibe is always great there.

We were seated at a bad seat by some back door when there were plenty of tables in the main dining room. I got the roasted beet appetizer…bad. Our drinks were bad, had to send 1 of them back. My entree was not what I ordered. Disappointing experience.
