We’ve dined here a number of times and loved the restaurant, food and the ambience. Valentine’s Day food we found to be very disappointing. The duck was tough and relatively tasteless and the pork was flavorless. The tables for two were too close to one another and unfortunately the service was subpar. So very different from our most enjoyable thanksgiving meal.

A fabulous New Year’s Eve 4 course dinner with incredible food, atmosphere and entertainment. The “ to go” goodie bag was a nice added touch for the guests. Would highly recommend.

There was a 35-minute gap between our first and second course and then a 20-minute gap between the third course and dessert. The look on the servers' face made me think we were forgotten. I had told the server when we first sat that we had an 8:00 show at the theatre around the block. We had a 6:00 reservation and two tables near my table sat after us and left well before we did. We were 15 minutes late for the show. Service was definitely lacking. Food was absolutely amazing. I would not go again if the restaurant is expected to be crowded. They either do not have enough wait staff or they just cannot handle it.
