   Food was very good as always. Certainly understand the labor shortage, but there need to be more training on appropriate comments to guest tables. We were greeted by one person who asked our table if anyone was taking care of us and we answered "not yet". The individual proceeded to tell us they have had a bad day and they were working a double. Again, understand working a double in the restaurant industry, been there - done that. But that was after being seated for about 10 minutes. After a few minutes our server greeted us and we heard the similar theme. "Having a bad day - lost a bunch of money". My entire table (all from the hospitality industry) looked at each other and waited until drink orders were taken to give our thoughts. Service was slow and barely attentive. Food was good as always, but service needs some help.

   Food was off on our visit this week— salmon didn’t have its usual buttery tender flavor. My son ‘s entree, lamb shank, was lacking as well he said. Maybe cook is on vacation? We eat here often, we’ll try again.

   Group of 7 business dinner. Waiter was attentive at first and then didn't see him for half hour. He was also managing a group of at least 10 - now enough folks working here. Appetizers were cold, calamari was awful but the steaks were terrific. We would have likely had coffees and dessert but couldn't find our guy for quite some time and instead just asked for the check.

   We enjoyed our dinner on Thanksgiving evening. The restaurant was busy but not overloaded and the noise level was acceptable. The waitstaff was attentive and the service was relaxed, allowing us to enjoy our cocktails, appetizers and entrees without feeling rushed. We shared Shrimp Kisses and Shrimp/Scallop Rockefeller appetizers. Both were delicious and came out piping hot! Both are recommended. Our entrees were the Shrimp & Crab Stuffed Salmon and Grilled Swordfish. Both tasted great but were merely warm, not hot, when brought to our table. A minor point for sure, but worth noting. We passed on desert, but the menu looked promising. We'll be back for sure!

   An hour to receive our appetizers, had to ask for water, air conditioning worked in one part of the restaurant but not where we were seated, hair in my food. I think that about sums it up.

   Thanksgiving special was subpar. Problem getting all white meat plate. Forgot the cranberry sauce and bread. Not a great dinner experience.

   Food was cold. My 19 year old was served a cold and small portion of the Thanksgiving special on a smaller plate than the others at our table. Drinks ran dry... Pffttt

    I had the Mahi and hubby had the Redfish. Excellent meal. Waitress, Tayla, was especially good.
