    We had a very enjoyable outing at Epoch last night. Our party of four booked for 6 pm. The bar and dining room were pretty busy when we arrived and throughout the evening. Our knowledgeable and affable server Jess took great care of us. We couldn't help but notice a couple of large groups that might normally put pressure on the dining room. We observed the staff helping each other out to share in bringing the service levels up to meet the demand. We were also impressed to see management rolling up its sleeves. Food and beverages were excellent. Knowing the restaurant's reputation for its salmon, all four of us ordered the savory dish. Epoch did not disappoint. We often find Epoch a great spot for Sunday brunch, but it should also be considered a hot spot for dinner.

    We've been away for a few weeks, but this morning we returned to Epoch, our favorite Sunday brunch spot. Food was excellent. Generous portions. Staffers greeted us with familiar warmth. An incomparable Sunday morning experience!

    This was our first time here and as locals, we’re sorry it took us so long to get here. This place is a gem, with great food, service, and ambience. Very nice selection of wines, too. We look forward to coming back!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Epoch. It was a quiet Sunday evening. The server was very friendly, energetic, efficient and aimed to please. We had one vegan in our party. The chef came out to chat about possible offerings, likes and dislikes. He created a very delicious entree that was much appreciated! All of us enjoyed our meals . In our experience, the food here has always been of high quality and well-prepared. This was no exception.

    An absolutely wonderful Saturday evening with friends. I’ll be coming back with an even bigger appetite next time. Fabulous chowder, delicious salmon entree - a real treat.

    Their Valentine's Day menu was overpriced. The service was okay, but we've had better. The bottom line is that it was too much money for a mediocre dinner. They should either drop the price or avoid repeating the "gourmet" spread. We have heard good things about Epoch, so we might have to try it again when the standard menu is offered.

    The food that we had on Valentine's Day was five-star. The beet and spinach salad was presented in an artistic way that I would say is picture worthy. The scallop entrees were very good and were followed by an outstanding raspberry lemon tart.. Overall, we were pleased by the food. The service was a little slow but we understand that the holiday created a very busy restaurant.
