    Romantic/beautiful place for a date night or even a celebration for dinner! We went for Valentines Day. They had a set menus which was all delicious, the price was a little high, but nothing too crazy. Drinks were delicious and service was near perfect. They were late on some drinks and food but our server Rocky made sure we got those quickly after she noticed they were taking a little long. Even provided us with free dessert for the wait on some of our food and drink but overall good experience!

    The food was incredible. I usually hesitate to get surf and turf because I am usually disappointed. The steak AND the lobster were excellent. Service and ambience were amazing for a spectacular valentines dinner. The place was packed but not too noisy and didn’t slow our service down.

    I always enjoy visiting Tavern House. The meals are always delicious, but save room for dessert. Reasonably priced for the quality is service and cuisine. Don’t miss it.

    Ocean 48 has a lot of hype, so I went in with high expectations--and they were far exceeded, thanks to the incredible service. Our waiter, Adam, truly made the experience exceptional (if you're making a reservation and appreciate top-tier service, be sure to request him). We were celebrating my father's birthday, and as someone who has dined at plenty of steakhouses, he was absolutely blown away. Adam's recommendations were spot-on, and every dish was phenomenal. The filet and 45-day aged Ribeye were perfectly cooked, and the wine pairing elevated the meal even further. It was an unforgettable evening, and my father hasn't stopped raving about how incredible everything was--especially Adam's service, which took the experience to the next level. Ocean 48 delivered in every way, and we'll definitely be back!

    Superb food and service. We had Short Ribs pappardelle and chicken schnitzel spätzle. Rib meat is not all lean but with a lil fat makes it melt in your mouth tender. Pasta def. made fresh since it absorbed all the beef sauce and butter and cheese. Chicken cutlet still moist inside and spätzle tossed with fresh vege made for a simple tasty side. All the staff are efficient- great teamwork
