This was my first time eating here and I enjoyed all the surf and turf they had to offer and then some! Even gave us free mimosas while we waited for our table.

Went for our 15 year anniversary a couple of months ago and experience was fantastic. Had some live music with a man and his guitar, wasn’t as nice as the big live black male band on our anniversary( go on a Thursday eve for that) singing all the Marvin Gaye and Stevie wonder + hits, but was enjoyable. Went again for Thanksgiving with 7 family members & restaurant did not disappoint. Spread was beautifully curated with a few more extras to highlight the Thanksgiving holiday. I think I had about 5 lobster tails 2 being the thermador. Crab was great but a bit spikey and hard to hold. Love that they had lamb chops, garlic mashed potatoes and fluffy Persian rice too. Surprised I was able to to enjoy some of their decadent desserts, as the bread pudding was delish along with the apple cinnamon roll. Everyone had such a good time that they were talking about returning next year with additional family members. So perhaps this will be a new tradition. Def recommend going here instead of shopping, cleaning, cooking and cleaning again.

Great food, esp if you stick to the seafood and sides. The meats can be a bit underwhelming. Skip the boba . Lobster tails were the star. Coffee and desserts for a sweet finish. Expensive but would definitely go back.

On a regular day, the food and service would be a ten out of ten. But today, the food was mid, the caviar expensive was trash. They should have had real caviar. The king crab was not even worth it. The lobster was over cooked. And the service was disappointing. I'll come back on a regular day but never again on a special day. It's just not worth it.

great experience at Cafe Sierra. Took my mother out who does not like Turkey and loves seafood. She was so happy with the selection and ate way too much like all of us did. Great attentive warm service and excellent big selection of food. We had a wonderful time!
