    Our first visit. Overall- I always believe service wins over food. A diner can make a bad choice, but rude service is never ok. Tonight we got amazing service from Tristan and Tray. I didn’t make a good choice on my food- but totally my palette. But Tray would not take me being unhappy. They just were awesome. Treated us like diners they cared about - not even knowing if we were tourists or locals- didn’t care. We will. return! We are relocating here and now know where we will return to! Thank you!

    Food was all excellent. We had some lamb chops which my husband described as very special. All entrees were very good and we even saved room for some excellent desserts. Good service and good wine made it a great night out

    My wife and I enjoy Paul Martin's every time we dine there. The cocktails are mixed nicely and every meal has been outstanding. This occasion we had the Salt & Pepper Shrimp for an appetizer then decided to try the Steak & Frites and it was fantastic! I usually get the Blackened Ribeye, a Burger, or the Brick Chicken. All have been tasty. Overall a great mid-range cost dinner for 2 with a classy comfortable atmosphere. Well done

    Food was good as always, as someone who cannot eat gluten it'd be nice if they had a gluten-free dessert.
