    We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Epoch. It was a quiet Sunday evening. The server was very friendly, energetic, efficient and aimed to please. We had one vegan in our party. The chef came out to chat about possible offerings, likes and dislikes. He created a very delicious entree that was much appreciated! All of us enjoyed our meals . In our experience, the food here has always been of high quality and well-prepared. This was no exception.

    An absolutely wonderful Saturday evening with friends. I’ll be coming back with an even bigger appetite next time. Fabulous chowder, delicious salmon entree - a real treat.

    Their Valentine's Day menu was overpriced. The service was okay, but we've had better. The bottom line is that it was too much money for a mediocre dinner. They should either drop the price or avoid repeating the "gourmet" spread. We have heard good things about Epoch, so we might have to try it again when the standard menu is offered.

    The food that we had on Valentine's Day was five-star. The beet and spinach salad was presented in an artistic way that I would say is picture worthy. The scallop entrees were very good and were followed by an outstanding raspberry lemon tart.. Overall, we were pleased by the food. The service was a little slow but we understand that the holiday created a very busy restaurant.

    The staff were simply wonderful: Lisa, the greeter/manager and Tracy, por server, were superb. The food was excellent- if a bit too much. The lobster bisque was thick and included wonderful chunks of lobster. The warm beet salad with goats cheese was superb. Excellent steak. Enjoyed the meal, the ambience and the service.

    As always my wife and I had a wonderful evening at Epoch Restaurant and Bar. Our server Sean whom we have had as our server before and as always he was great. I tried the special burger they were featuring for the competition and it was fabulous. The home made Brioche bun, the Gruyère Cheese sauce and the smoked shiitake mushroom were a delicious combination.

    Restaurant had 5 tables of diners so it was pretty empty. I ordered a cocktail and it didn’t come by the time my main course was on the table. I kept trying to get the attention of a food server cause my waiter was no where to be found. They mastered the art of ignoring. I had to get up and go to the bar myself to see if I could just take my cocktail as it should have been ordered 60 minutes ago. The bartender was not happy that I was asking for my drink and asked what table I was sitting at. She said my waiter never placed the order. I said well I’ll order it now and wait for you to make it. She said, No, your waiter will bring it to you. Another 10 minutes went by and my waiter handed me my cocktail as I had two bites left of my main course. He made no apology for the delay.
