    First I would like to thank you to the host for allowing me to make a last adjust my reservation. The food and service was excellent during this particular visit. I would like to highlight our server Paige. She went above and beyond to provide excellent service.

    95 minutes and our entree never came - had to leave along with folks at the next table who also didn’t get their meal in an hour and a half. Used to be my favorite but I won’t return.

    It was as freezing at the tables by the door. I mentioned it to the waiter and he said there used to be a heater there, but he said the staff was getting too warm so they took it away. In my opinion they should be thinking about the customer. I will not be coming back to that restaurant anytime soon because it was so cold.

    Food was amazing, wait time between drinks and ordering food a little excessive. But it was worth the wait, my lady’s filet was cooked to perfection as well as my rockfish!!!
