    Bon Bon ice cream display is worth the trip here if you have kids! This was very affordable. We also enjoyed the cocktails. Service was absolutely terrible. Our server was nowhere to be found majority of the time. Drinks took nearly 20 mins to come out although the restaurant barley had anyone there.

    Sur is one of our go to places. While the quality of food sometimes differs it’s often that the staff is amazing, especially Austin. He always takes time to listen to what we need and what we’re looking for and offers amazing suggestions. He knows any changes better than anyone and really makes our visits memorable.

    Scallop risotto was delicious and the calamari was very good. Portions were small for the price. 4 scallops with a little risotto and 2 spears of asparagus for $40. 7 pieces of calamari for $20. The Mango Tango & Bixby Bourbon drinks were also great. We had plenty of room for dessert. Ordered tiramisu and mud pie. Tiramisu was good, mud pie was great! And dessert portions were much larger.

    We had a wonderful afternoon meal. We enjoyed our server Austin and the wait staff. The manager is always welcoming and friendly. We leave every time feeling great and ready to plan our next visit.

    This place was just not up for a good review. The food was disappointing. I have the tuna nachos and the sauce overpowered the tuna. The tuna didn’t feel fresh. My husband had the French dip. The meat was not sliced correctly. It was cut very thick. The one beverage I ordered tasted like syrup and I didn’t drink it.

    Went here based on the menu they have listed online. Unfortunately, three of the entrees our party was hoping to order were no longer on the menu. We had a party of five but they sat us at a table for four even though tables for five were available. Garlic cheese bread was $15 but was very small. Not the best experience but the food was good. The steak sandwich was very good as was the butternut squash ravioli.
