We were seated right at our reservation time in a nice booth. To start off the night we ordered the Oysters Rockefeller and split a wedge salad. Entrees were Club Room Combo (shrimp, scallops and petit filet) and the Pan Roasted Halibut which was prepared perfectly. We ordered the scalloped potatoes which was more than enough for two of us. For dessert we ordered the creme brulee. Service was great as well was the bussing service- plates were cleared upon completion of each item.

Came in last minute for a business dinner and was seated right away. Enjoyed a few apps and some great steaks and the halibut. Saved room for the chocolate cake. Good price and great service.

The fish fry is not good and the wedge salad had a vinegrette rather than blue cheese. Server a bit smarmy. We usually sit at the bar which we will try again.
