    We had absolutely perfect food at this restaurant. I had a steak that was extremely flavorful and done perfectly and my husband had jerk chicken that he thought was very good. The date cake dessert was remarkable. The restaurant is definitely more pricey than is typical for this kind of meal. The ambience is lovely. The only problem at all with the lovely environment was that people were cutting through quite frequently from the lobby to the back of the hotel down the middle of the rather small dining room. our server Janet was absolutely excellent.

    Service was very good. Food was Ok but nothing special. Caesar salad lacked flavor. Shrimp cocktail were small and chewy. Monkfish entree lacked flavor. Scallops we small & chewy. This place needs to find another chef!!!

    The soup was fantastic and it stopped there. Every one of our entrees were horrible. Scallop risotto was aweful… inedible. They did take both orders of it off our bill which was still almost $400 for 5 people. My husbands fillet was aweful, cooked perfectly but had no taste at all. The waitress was attentive but did seem annoyed no one liked their food
