    Great experience, as expected. However, must really call out our waiter David. He was very knowledgeable about wine, helpful with the dinner needs, and really made our dining experience more fun, while not being too involved. It was the kind of experience that makes me want to make sure I ask for David's station on my next visit.

    The two best things were our waitress, Kelley and our appetizers a nice salad and crab, stuffed mushrooms. The sides were good, but our steaks were overcooked and my husband‘s lobster ended up being undercooked , but they did take that off the bill and gave us a complementary dessert . We’re not complainers. We didn’t want to say anything about the steaks … but when he cut open that lobster that was a big disappointment.

    I don't ear meat but for our Anniversary my meat-loving wife got to choose the restaurant. She enjoyed the T-bone and brought 2/3 of it home. Salads were just basic but good. Crusted seabass was good but smothered in butter, just like the meat. For some reason.

    The worst service I’ve had at a high end restaurant. Waited 45 mins past our reservation time. was almost hit in head with passing trays of food. Server couldn’t remember order.

    We had a wonderful dinner this evening! The food was top notch as always and the ambiance was very pleasant and relaxing. On top of that out we had a great server named Danny. He has a very professional and friendly attitude. Checked in with us enough but not too much. Gave us good recommendation about the cocktail drinks. He made our dinner date very pleasant and my husband and I both enjoyed it very much.
