This was my second visit in hopes of having a better experience than my first in May of 2024. I decided to take my wife, son and his fiancée out to dinner. It was our 25th wedding anniversary and I noted this as a special occasion during booking and also in the special requests section. We arrived and were sat relatively quickly. Ordered drinks and our meals within :15-:20 mins of being seated. Food took ~1 hr to come out. We ordered two steaks and two pasta dishes, no apps. We were one of two tables remaining occupied by the time we finished our meal. Food was OK (again) but nothing special for the price point ($225 before tip, for a party of four). Server seemed disinterested and overall service was just average. Attitude, tone, body language, etc and slow to refill drinks. We were never acknowledged about the special occasion. The same occurred for our Birthday dinner visit last year. Disappointing… Note: Wife left something at the table and had to return after we walked out. Every employee was heads down in their phones, at bar, chatting and no one acknowledged her coming back in and returning to the table.

Everything was awesome except that both our meals were exceptionally slaty. Butternut squash risotto and scallops and the Salmon dish. It wont stop us from coming again as we have always thought the food was excellent. Thiswas just a one-off.

Overall a good experience. Food was good and drinks were delicious. Waitress was incredibly nice, but service was way, way, way too slow to get the things we wanted- it seemed that maybe she was in charge of too many tables which obviously would not be her fault. We sat down at 6:45 and didn’t get our drinks until 7:20. We didn’t leave the restaurant until 9:45 even though we were ready with our order choices each time the waitress came around. The ambiance upstairs is not very nice compared to downstairs. While we were overall satisfied with the meal, we expected a little bit better experience considering the cost of the meal
