"Tusk has the misfortune of being in a location which has unfortunately seen one failed restaurant after another. I do hope they manage to be the exception because I enjoy this place more with each visit. I've had minor quibbles with one or two of the servers but, in general, the staff is very friendly and very happy to help. The food is an eclectic mix of styles and ethnicities but every single thing I've had there has been at least good and some of it is quite wonderful (the fried calamari is lighter, crispier and more interestingly spiced than any I've ever had). You can pretty easily eat for under $20 a person here or you can do it up with drinks, appetizers, raw bar and spend quite a bit more. Either way, it's worth a visit."

"The food was good. The restaurant was attractive. There was not enough servers for the amount of diners. The management, which pitched in, were condecending and made it appear there their wait service was slow not non existing. Pity, it had a lot of potential, but we will not return."

"The food was was great, I had Tusk Chicken.
Service was Fair. For cocktails we asked for Spiked Arnold Palmer (sweet tea vodka and lemonade as described in the cocktail menu) the fist time the drink had ginger ale in it we asked to remix and got same drinks back with more ice and soda.
Never recieved bread like the other tables around us.
Otherwise a great meal."

"Lovely setting with nice background music from a live trio. There was a fishy odor that was very noticeable upon entering which was distracting. Food selection was somewhat unusual but the food was tasty with good portions. Food was cleared from some of us while others were still eating."

"Some parts of the meal were excellent while other parts lacked. The spareribs are to die for while the crab cake was nothing but bread. There was no crab in the crab cake at all. The scallops were excellent. The dumplings were also good.

Our server was very good and they had a 2 piece band playing which was nice."

"We have dined at Tusk's at least 14 times...dispite some of the negative reviews...we find it a terrific place. We were there from day one and have seen it go thru many changes from food, service to staff....all positive. The owner John always stops at our table and spends time with us (which goes a long way). The new chef..Mark..is excellent...he also comes to our table. When dining ask for Patrick or Dan..two of the best. The new menu is excellent with an Asian twist....Nothing but good things to say."

"While our server was quite pleasant,she wasn't up to speed.When we asked to see the Manager to complain about the size of one our guest's portion, we we told that "...he was busy". Our desserts we so delayed that we left after 10 minutes of waitng."
