    I will emphasize…..our waiter was very nice…..We made reservations in advance for 2 on Thanksgiving, unfortunately we thought in addition to them having a Thanksgiving menu option we could order off the regular menu which was our plan. Not the case. Turkey or ham dinner only…..When I mentioned I don’t eat meat I was offered an eggplant Parmesan instead. What I got was a couple thin slices of tasteless egg plant “buried” in a can of tasteless tomato sauce and green beans on the side. Disgusting! The crushed red pepper I asked for couldn’t even help!! Honestly, this was the worst meal I’ve had in quite some time. (And I paid $25 for it)! I’m just appalled by the whole experience. Will I return? No way…..

    Reserved a table in the main dining room not realizing it wasn’t open during the week. They called and offered the wine room for a private dining experience because I was proposing to my girlfriend. The service was amazing from start to finish and they were very accommodating. Thank you for making out special time even more special and enjoyable.

    Amazing restaurant. Great food and atmosphere. The service was a little slow and not as attentive as I would have preferred

    Saturday nite dinner with friends. We were seated promptly after being offered a chance to have cocktails first. Aubrey was our waitress very attentive. Food recommendations were great. We had Blackened Haddock, Steak Delmonico, Ahi Tuna and Coconut Shrimp. All Delicious. We will be back.

    Our service was excellent! Loved the ambience, the music, the food & the drinks were top notch. Wish the water fall and the fire place were operating, that would have added another level to the experience. Highly recommend.
