   The bar is very nice and we were served great cocktails. Enjoyed an excellent JAI wedge salad and salmon entree. My wife enjoyed the scallops entree. A very relaxing dinner and excellent service from Tina who took great care of us.

   Portions have definitely changed here, although pricing stayed the same. We eat here often enough to see the difference. They are also using different rectangular plates to serve the meals vs the large round ones. Food is still delicious and our server, Emma, was great.

   We had a great anniversary dinner. The filet mignon was amazing along with the Mexican street corn dip. The wait staff was pleasant and attentive, filling our water and clearing our plates quickly. We come here every year for our anniversary ever since we got married here 10 years ago and it just keeps getting better! Also, our waitress gave us a dessert for free to help us celebrate!

   We had not been to this restaurant for quite a while and to say that everything was really good is an understatement. Colleen, our waitress was fantastic. We did not feel rushed at all and her service to us was perfection. We started with the cheese and fig charcuterie board to share. Then, we moved onto a cup of butternut squash soup, which was served with pecans, dried cranberries, and oh my! What a tasty soup.❤️ it wasn't sweet as some renditions of this soup can be. My husband had shepherds pie. I had grilled chicken w/brie and apple chutney served on the most fantastic bed of risotto I've ever had! And our friend had scallops w/ rice. All three of us loved our food. we will be back sooner rather than later.!

    The food is really expensive. We paid close to $140 not including tip. We got a variety of dishes. This included a cheese platter, which was the best part of the meal. We had drinks. The lemonade I had was bland. I think it was filler for cocktails. The appetizer I got which was a clam with white sauce tasted funny. I hope I don't get sick. The scallops I had were over cooked. The rice that went with it had a funny aftertaste. It was really mediocre for the price. My husband's steak was cooked well. However, we wouldn't come back again. I think the place has amazing service and ambience. However, the food and price don't match. More effort should be put into the dishes.
