   Service was very slow. Food was cold, under-seasoned, and the steak was over- cooked. Clams appetizer was overly fishy and the broth was not good. Fish and chips was greasy. When we told the waitstaff of our issues, they were dismissive and no compensation was offered. It was New Years Eve, but they weren't that busy, and seemed to have sufficient staff.

   It is such a nice venue. Server was pleasant enough. Took a while from when we were seated until we could order drinks & an appetizer. Calamari to share was just ok. Drinks arrived much later. Ordered dinner took forever to come. My husband’s chanterelle pasta arrived last night, was barely warm. Sent back. Got a new order that was pretty tasteless. Seabass was good. Friends had double pork chops they said were good. Won’t go back til they get their kitchen & service figured out.

   I booked the reservation for a family of 6. The ambiance was nice, but the servers were short staffed. The salmon dinner consisted of a single, small piece of salmon that lacked flavor and was over cooked. Two of the party was unable to attend, so a mediocre meal was over $200.00 very over priced for the food that we were served. Honest opinion. For the price, I expected much more.

   My soup was brought out at the wrong temperature. Very unacceptable. Server eventually brought out another bowl. Sever put the wrong plates in front myself and guest. I think they are well intentioned but just don't get any training. Looks like management gets a low score.

   The newly-renovated restaurant has been pleasantly decorated and the service staff was attentive. However, we felt that the food options could have more flavors. My sea bass portion was a good size, but the risotto was fairly bland.

    We were there on Christmas Eve at 6 pm, so it was busy. Beamer was our server, and she was great. Sweet, efficient and funny. We were not rushed. The only complain I had was that the food was not hot when it came out. We had prime rib with brussel sprouts and potatoes. The food tasted good it just wasn't hot enough.
