Expensive for the meal received. Ordered chicken Parmesan and it actually had what looked like a drumstick at the end of it! Chicken was thin for a supposed breast of chicken. Service was slow.

Ceaser salad and soup came out really quick before our drinks . Salad barely had dressing and very small size for the price. Took over a half hour after appetizers for meal . Husbands filet mignon was not a good cut and that and mashed potatoes came out cold. Seafood risotto good portion but was watery and lacked the seafood . Very expensive for sub par food. Our waitress was attentive.

Our table was ready when we arrived. The greeter and servers were very polite and accommodating. The lighting was dim making it difficult to read the menu. The fried calamari was tender, the gnocchi with shrimp and scallops was tasty, although the gnocchi were massive. The veal saltimbocca and chicken were delicious but a bit salty for our taste.

Food and ambiance was great. Service, however, lacked heavily. We sat for 10 minutes with no beverages (after ordering them) meanwhile had my side salad and bread at the table. Wouldn’t rush back.

The food was horrible. Our steaks were inedible, extremely tough and tasted rancid! Service was almost nonexistent until Jordan took over our table. We expressed our concerns and were provided apologies. Don't expect a Ruth Chris/Morton's experience but expect Ruth Chris/Morton's prices!

We ordered from the special pasta menu as well as off of the featured truffle menu. Our server was very attentive. The restaurant got busy very quickly and we did not receive the truffle that was supposed to come with our meal. Also, our busser tried to take our wine bottle that was not empty yet.

Second year in a row we had our anniversary dinner here. Very disappointed with the service and the food. Seemed like the kitchen and the staff could not connect making the dining experience sub par. Need to rejuvenate the whole dining experience so it can be enjoyed again. Sorry for the poor review but having my wife and I open restaurants we were able to see the strengths and weaknesses. We would love to dine with you again

This was terrible.My wife had vegetable lasagna which resembled a cheese soup ,uneatable.I had spaghetti and meat balls ,the spaghetti was clumped together ,I had to separate with a fork. The meat balls were nothing more than hamburger meat ,dry and tasteless .The waitress and bartender were friendly amd provided good service.

The meal started off well, bread was delicious. We ordered white bean Tuscan soup and it had no beans. It was a very bland bowl of vegetable soup. Chicken was well prepared. Sides of sautéed spinach and sautéed mushrooms were flavorless and too much.

I ordered the grilled pork chop And I have to say it was the best pork chop I’ve had in years. Meat was so tender and the grill taste was absolutely delicious. My husband had the rigatoni with sausage and broccoli rabe and cleaned his dish. This was our first time at this restaurant and we will definitely return. The food was outstanding!

The food was delicious! The service from not being told the specials to waiting a long time for our drinks, received our appetizers before our drinks. And 2 1/2 - 3 hours for appetizers and dinner is a long time for a dinner. And it’s the best restaurant in the hotel, so we went twice and had slow service.

We shared some appetizers and a salad. All fresh but not well prepared. Salad was overdressed and taste was very citrus and was supposed to be Ceasar. Baked clams was baked breadcrumbs. Crab cakes were fine and desserts delicious. Service was very good and the server knew we were not happy so brought manager who removed some items from our check. We thought that was right to do. Our impression was that it just wasn't the finer dining experience we hoped. Since we didn't try entrees cannot comment on that.
