    I was disappointed that the food I ordered surf and turf didn't come with lobster tail and came with shrimp. If I knew that in the beginning I would have ordered something else and I was surprised that the price didn't reflect this.

    We live here for three years. First time here. Read numerous reviews about the food and service. If I recall a p4.5 rating while the other steak houses in the area rate 4. Sat outside. Beautiful evening weather. Initial greeting great. Took five minutes to take the drink order. Another five to get them. We both ordered steaks. Hers a sirloin. Ordered med/well. Came very well. Baked potato cold. They did replace with a hot one. I ordered rib eye med-rare. Came med-well. Dessert was great. Overall not impressed. Hudson Valley steak house much superior.

    We had a nice waiter. He was really personable and attentive, however the food was horrible. The seafood is not fresh, but frozen. The calamari was horrible and tasted old. We ordered tuna tartar and it was definitely not tuna tartar. I was a block of sushi tuna that you put in a poke bowl or a roll of sushi. The tuna was not fresh and tasted old as well. We then moved to dinner. I got a steak and the quality was poor. The potato taste like box potatoes and the squash was tasteless. I did not eat it. My friend got the salmon which also tasted gross, frozen and not fresh. We both did not eat our food. We did not complain about it and paid the 120 dollar bill. It was the biggest waste of money. For dessert we had the cheesecake. Now that was fantastic. We ordered coffee with it and that was watered down and did not taste great either. Finally the owner stopped by the table. He is such a wonderful guy. If this review was based on just service it would be a 10/10! Even the buss staff were charming, funny and kind. So thought I don’t recommend eating here, I did have a nice service experience.

    The place was nice, and the food was great. The service was also excellent. However, the parking was totally insufficient for that place. We had a party of 12 booked, and two friends could not find parking at all, and they left, cutting our party short, which was very disappointing. I actually had to park with my car partially in a bush, because I had to make my own spot. The cars are parked all of the roadway up until the main road, and there was no other place to go for parking. That was a big downside, and the place is losing money because of it. It was also extremely loud in the place, and we had a very hard time hearing each other. We had a very long table, which was nice, but a round table would have been preferable, so that we could actually converse with each other. Other than the bad things, again, the food was great, and the service was excellent. We will come back on a weeknight, instead of a Friday night, hoping that the crowd will be less, and the parking available.

    Had dinner with a group of friends. Everything we ordered was delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. The only glitch was that one of the items my friend ordered came out late. The waitress was apologetic and didn't charge us for it. Will definitely go back again.

    We have been going here for 9 years and it never gets old. Food is always fantastic and the service is top notch. Can’t beat the prices too. The portions are huge and my kids always enjoy the left overs. We usually have Michael as our waiter but they put us in Nicki’s section. She was awesome! I recommend both of them if you can. They both are really awesome at their jobs. It’s nice to also see the owner help when it gets busy and to also check on your experience. Something that is unseen these days. Highly recommended!
