    The experience was wonderful. Very romantic. The food was great and the service was excellent but I do wish they stopped checking in on us every 10min. It was hard to have a discussion as we kept getting interrupted to see if we needed water or something else

    The last time I visited this restaurant was about 17 years ago. I have to say the that the quality of the food was very sub-par. I had the salmon and vegetables which was basically tasteless, and the presentation was awful. My wife had the chicken which was very dry. The waiter was so scattered and seemed to be unclear of the order of things and his entire affect was just off. I do not believe I will return. Too bad - really liked it 17 years ago. Matt

    We had the Dine downtown 3-course meal. The salad, salmon and crème brule were wonderful. However, the chicken was too dry. Entree portions were very small, and our waiter was pretentious. Overall, an okay dining experience.

    Must have been an "off" night. Usually awesome, not so much this time. It will be a while if we return.

    Overall, the experience was good. However, after checking in for my reservation it took 30 minutes for the table to be ready and I had to speak with the host to question my table. I'm not sure how long I would have had to wait if I didn't speak to the host again. Upon being sat down our waiter apologized for the wait and offered a sparkling beverage to apologize. However, the beverage was already included in the price of the meal. The food was delicious and was hot. The service could have been better.
