"We were there for our sister's birthday. The waiter never introduced himself. Not very personable. We said, "let the birthday girl go first" and he just asked what she wanted....no "Happy Birthday". Never asked if it was our first time there. Overcharged for our appetizer by $10.00. Mushroom appetizer came had a remnant of a menu at the bottom of the dish, unprofessional. Swordfish was wonderful but small portion. Waiter brought soup instead of salad (ordered salad). Waiter reached over table. Did not come for bill/payment for 13 minutes. Thought it would be more high-end service. Not a great 1st visit."

"There was 8 of us celbrating a couple of birthdays. The atmosphere was great, the waitress was great, but after spending $200 a couple we still left actually hungry. We had drinks, salad, appetizers, and entrees. The portions are extremly small. A couple of us ordered the $85 lobster pot pie that we were told was great. We found it to be bland and frankly not much food."

"The service was excellent, Anthony, our server was attentive without being over bearing. He made suggestions and made sure we were comfortable with the menu and the wine list. The food A MAZ ING! The lobster pot pie, although a bit pricy for my budget is a must try. We went on their wine Wednesday night and enjoyed a bottle from their extensive list at a great price. I enjoyed having our server make the suggestions instead of a separate sommelier coming to the table. Loved the entire experience!"

"My wife and I enjoyed our experience. The table and privacy was pleasant Service was mediocre, menu information was not forthcoming as we had to ask for descriptions and portion sizes. Plate presentation and taste was phenomenal. We were running 15 min late and called to give a heads up and hostess was very accommodating."
