   First visit for us and will be back. Service was exceptional but not overbearing. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. Food was well prepared and flavorful.

   Wonderful and caring team of servers was the highlight. Chris, Rebecca and Landon were genuine, very attentive and all very helpful. Special shout out to Landon who was younger than 21 but extremely mature and a good listener! The cheese selection plate was special and Chris really helped with our selection of cheeses.

   The restaurant had a very nice ambience. The bartenders were great and made very good cocktails. We got to our seat and the waiter was great as well. We had ordered a clam fries which were good, lobster and clam bisque which was a little too sweet and then scallops and a wagyu ribeye for dinner. The scallops were good but too salty. The steak was cooked to a good temperature however came to the table lukewarm at best and was pretty tough. Overall drinks and service were great- food just OK.

   This was our 2nd time there for dinner, and while the food is great, and the new aesthetic of the spaces and decorating are top-notch, the service still struggles. The "server team of 3" were all very nice, especially our primary server, Chloe, but they couldn't overcome what I suspect were productivity problems with the bar for drinks and the kitchen for food. It was busy on a Thursday night but not slammed. There was also plenty of room at the bar when we arrived at 6:45. While we enjoy a relaxing evening out, it gets frustrating to have to wait over 10 minutes at the table to get our drink order in and another 10-15 before getting the drinks. Even the bread took a while to appear, and the service, while friendly, was just plain slow at every juncture. It's one thing to relax and chat with a drink, or appetizer to enjoy, but another to sit for 25 minutes with no drink or any food to sample. Once we ordered dessert, that even took over 15 minutes to come (for a slice of chocolate cake...). We are glad this stalwart restaurant has a "new life", and the area needed a top-notch option. All-in all, and for the price, we will be going elsewhere for top-level food, ambiance and service until they can streamline the service better.

   We were seated in a great corner booth and staff were very attentive. Caesar salad, lobster, cauliflower Au gratin, sweet potato and chocolate cake were all perfect and delicious.

   Three of us dined. Only one of us had a good meal. The veal Marsala was overcooked and tough. The wiener schnitzel was too thick and was chewy. The veal chop was good. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was good.

   Great brunch, is a bit pricey but worth it for a special occasion. First class service and the best brunch food I’ve had in some time. Great view and a great reimagining of a 100 year old building

    There is a lot of parking and it's easy to find at night with all the trees lining the driveway lit up! It's a beautiful approach to a beautiful restaurant. There is a complimentary coat check -- so nice not to have to drag your heavy coat around inside the restaurant. We had a drink at the bar, they have a nice selection of seasonal cocktails. For dinner we were seated at the far end of the dining room near the fireplace. It is slightly separated and therefore much quieter. The service staff was attentive and very fast. We had the beef Wellington -- no surprise that is the specialty of the house. It was absolutely delicious; one of the best meals I've ever had! I can't wait to go back during daylight to see the lake-side views. An absolutely fantastic experience beginning to end!
