   I had my expectations quite high given that I always was told how great the experience was by others. I have to disagree though because we sat outside in which I did ask for outdoor seating. The issue is that we were sat literally outside instead on the upper patio which has more protection from the rain. We sat outside 35 minutes before the server ever came to say hey! We were not given drink menus or told about the Mother's Day special! We weren't offered or given bread and butter! We asked the server to be moved to the patio upstairs he left for another 15 minutes and still didn't get a response but I'm sure it was NO because we did not get moved. When he did take our order he was irritated and non responsive to our questions and concerns. The food was good but the steaks were not to our preference. He forgot a whole side dish and brought me half a Caesar salad! It seemed as if seating outside was a terrible choice but we were from out of town and though a patio dinner would have been nice.The tables were dirty and old leaves were blowing. We moved our own table over closer underneath the umbrella covering. Upon leaving we were looked upon as we had made a mistake of picking this restaurants as out of towners

   We had a few challenges. I guess Mother's Day was a bit overwhelming back in the kitchen. It didn't help sitting right under an "Arctic Blast" from the A/C vents. My son was freezing the entire meal. Our waiter did the best he could, and was attentive, and apologetic for what we endured. I'm glad most people that night had a great experience.

   The food is always excellent: steak cooked to perfection. An ordered side was "forgotten" and did not arrive until I almost finished my steak. Not a make-or-break issue, but I was surprised they still charged for it. Also, they had no Pinot Grigio. This may be a tariff issue, but it is not an uncommon wine.

   Great seating and experience for Mothers Day. Gianna was a great server and she was very attentive. Everyone in out party of 6 enjoyed their meals and cocktails.

   As first time patrons we were pleasantly surprised and impressed. The young man who greeted and seated us was cordial and welcoming. Regrettably, I didn’t get his name. Our server Ethan was knowledgeable of the menu, very kind, and enthusiastic regarding our choices. We chose the Mahi Mahi entree-and look forward to returning - to order it again. I rarely eat my entire meal, at the same time, “I cleaned my plate. “ Thank You!

   Not a great experience. Yes, it was Mother's Day. And yes, it was busy however the experience was not the greatest. Three of our four steaks were overcooked. Could deal with it though because waitress never came around after the runners dropped the food. Not Until most were finished eating. Baked potato was hard. Service was not good. The waitress rarely came back to check for drinks. Experience was very sub par for $800 for five adults snd four kids. Then waited forever for our car at valet. After a long time waiting, Asked and they said they were busy which at that time there were only two of us waiting. Then said they lost our keys. Walked over to the keys and showed them where they were hanging. Wish they just would've been honest that they couldn't locate the keys instead of making us wait.  Just a bad experience overall unfortunately. Would not return or recommend.

   La peor experiencia para una celebración, pedí una botella de Prosecco y demoraron 20 minutos en servirla, fue abierta sin clase por el mesonero, estaba caliente y servida en copas de vino blanco, tuve que rechazar el pedido, los platos fueron escasos de comida, el pescado estaba quemado y sabor a grasa, nunca recibimos una disculpa del mesero ni se acercó un gerente, jamás regresaré a esta locación. Costoso para una mala comida y mal servicio.

    Had a fantastic experience celebrating a graduation with a large group for lunch. The staff was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect, and they handled our party with ease. Highly recommend for any special occasion!
