    All of the entries was some of the finest I've ever had. Sea scallops were excellent, hamburger looked beautiful. Eight ounce filet mignon was excellent the appetizes: spare ribs, and buffalo mozzarella w prosciutto were also superb. Spaghetti bolognese was devoured. My halibut with lobster ravioli was very very good. There was actually a decent amount of lobster in the ravioli. Overall excellent and great service. 1 beer and soft drinks. All $304 w$60 tip came out to $60 each. Great food decent value. Can't go wrong. at Tuscan Grill

    Love the ambience of this place, and the service was great, but this is the third time we’ve been disappointed by the food. We ordered sushi, and the rice was poorly prepared – both mushy and crunchy at the same time. All of our sushi rolls were falling apart and we ended up needing to use forks to eat them. The drinks were the highlight.

    The restaurant is beautiful! Especially right now st Christmas time. They had a stunning chandelier style Christmas decoration hanging from the ceiling on the waterfront area. I usually have a salad c with grilled chicken when we go out bc we go out every week. They don’t really have a good selection of salads. I had a Caesar. My husband’s stuffed shrimp were very good. It’s a bit expensive. But overall really nice place to eat.

    Excellent food, great service. High quality seafood. Been here many times and it’s very nice. My only complaint is the acoustics—insanely loud. Find a way to dial it down and it will be even better.

    Good Afternoon Suzanne, Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We appreciate you feedback. We have such a big open space, it is hard to control the noise. We will certainly make note and turn down the volume. Best, Lori Parolisi General Manager

    I was there yesterday Dec 8, 2024, for my birthday dinner. The restaurant was beautiful, clean, and decorated nicely for the holidays. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the wonderful hostesses. She took us to our table without any wait. Our waiter Kalani was AMAZING! He gave us a 5-star service. We had the best experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    Seated on time. Nice ambiance. Raw bar was good, bread and drinks were great but main course was just - meh. Very bland, pancetta and ravioli were undercooked and sauce lacked flavor.

    The scallops were a little dry. I like the big portions though. Prices were higher than the online menu.
