Our dinner was just ok. We ordered the crispy potatoes that really weren’t that crispy and it was weird that they just came with a plop of butter on the side. My husband ordered the burger. He was fine with it. I ordered the lobster pappardelle. It was so bland in flavor that I had to ask for more sauce and cheese. Lobster was overcooked and there wasn’t a lot of it. I was hoping for a better experience.

Wendy provided excellent service. Nice setting. Swordfish and prime rib were delicious. Green salad was also very good but skimpy in size for the price. Strawberry hand pie with ice cream was a great ending to our meal.

A nice restaurant with nice ambience and attentive servers. But $18 for a glass of wine seems excessive, and $49 for an overcooked pork chop was disappointing. I know pork chops can be tricky which is why I often order them, to see how good the chef is. Mine was tasty but definitely dry. Overall a nice place for an anniversary or special occasion, but I would not recommend for a date night or friends night out, as the prices are really, really high.

We celebrated my husband's 92nd birthday and it was a great way to celebrate, surrounded by family and assisted by a great waitress. I can't say enough good things about her.

Our Thanksgiving experience was great. We are very impressed with the quality of the meal and selection. Everything is wonderful. We were a little surprised with the extra $60 service charge on top of our bill. No one had shared that fee but overall we are grateful for Thanksgiving.

My food was wonderful, I had mussels as an appetizer. They were in a curry sauce which was different but gave them a nice bit of spice. I has swordfish for my main course and it was juicy and tender. The only negative of the whole experience was that my wife had the pork chop , which our waiter said was her favorite, and it was overcooked and dry. We had a dessert each and the restaurant comped my wife’s dessert. Would still go back there though, that wasn’t enough of an issue to never return.
