Took forever to get water or order drinks. Told waiter we were going to a movie in 75 minutes next door, but food came instantly, such that we were finished with dinner in 30 minutes with no thought to pacing the drinks, appetizer and entrée courses. Never offered to refill my diet coke glass. I ordered the turkey cobb salad, but...surprise...there was no turkey which I noticed after a few bites and had to ask for turkey. -> All-in-all, a pedestrian experience with marginal 'fast food" in an upscale restaurant setting. I would not make this a regular restaurant even before or after a movie.

The restaurant is too cold to be comfortable to enjoy dinner. You have to sit under the heaters for any comfort at all and they become very hot, would not go there again.

Thanksgiving buffet food was atrocious. Stuffing was so bad. Not sure how you can’t make an average stuffing or mac and cheese.

I think the relaunch of this restaurant was much needed. The food has improved (with the exception of the calamari). It was not a busy night when we went, but the service was quite slow. The sushi is a good addition to the menu. Would recommend.

Food was delicious and service was very good, despite being quite slow. It’s a good place to go when you have plenty of time to enjoy your food and the company of your party. It’s a little on the pricey side. Ambience is nice and they have multiple space heaters on the patio.
