    Food was very disappointing, as well as the cocktail drink round with a poorly made Manhattan. Have been a few times before and this was not the same quality level. My entree wasn't even hot. They were just churning it out on a busy night. Also, when we order a $130 bottle of Jordan red wine, we'd like to get stemmed cab sav glasses, not casual stemless.

    Our Valentine’s dinner was delicious. The manilla clams and twin lobster tails were spectacular! Our server was fantastic. My ONLY complaint is that we were freezing. We were seated next to the fireplace by an emergency exit door and, at all 3 tables in that area, people had their coats on. We asked to be moved from near the exit door to the table closest to the fireplace and we still freezing.

    Igloo was delightful as was the server. The food was meh - don’t expect great cuisine other than the salads, raw bar & burgers.
