    This restaurant definitely lives up to hype!! The food, atmospher and service were stellar!! If I had to give a downside, the pricing could be a bit more transparent and jalapenos are a in quite a few menu items If you don't like heat, your choices will be limited. However, the jalapeno dishes are not brutally spicy. I'm not a spice girl (pun intended) but heat was tolerable. These are minor downsides. This place is a must visit!! Kudos!

    The Tasting Room is always a great culinary experience! My husband opted for the ribeye steak as opposed to the filet this time and regretted it—not that the ribeye was bad in any way, the filet is just perfection. My halibut was divine, as was our crab toast appetizer, and the lobster mashed potatoes are a must! The service is excellent, and the noise level was especially tolerable this time (we went early—5:15–so that definitely played into it). A word of caution for those who are noise sensitive: with the high tin ceilings, glass surfaces, and the tiled floors, it can get intolerably loud, especially so the later you go. Overall, the Tasting Room provides a wonderful dining experience!
