    My wife and I met friends here for dinner before a show at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. The location is perfect. Close to the theater and only a 2 minute walk from the light rail, or they offer free parking in the Wake Forest parking garage. The atmosphere was quiet as there were only a couple of other tables occupied during the time we were there. The server was friendly and mostly attentive, but not as efficient as we would have liked. As for the food, my wife had the Lobster Bisque and said it was delicious. I had the French Onion soup and it was just average. My wife also had a wedge salad. It didn't come with bleu cheese crumbles, so we had to ask for them. I had the Pistachio-crusted chicken tenders, which were very tasty but small in portion size. Our friend had the Pork Chop and said that it was good. They gave us a 15% discount with our show tickets which brought the cost to about $100 per couple with tip, so not too expensive, but slightly more than I would pay again for what we received. Overall, I would say it has a great location, good food and decent service, at a slightly higher price.

    Our experience was average. Tap water to start with. Had to ask for ice. When asked if the salads were shareable, waiter told us no. We ordered one Caesar salad and it was plenty to share. We noticed others doing the same. It was an average at best salad…nothing special or noteworthy. I had the bone in pork chop. I wasn’t asked how I wanted that prepared. I would have said medium rare. Came out medium so I figured that was the only way the chef prepared it. The chop was good, but over cooked. My wife ordered seafood pasta. It was too spicey for her taste and the shrimp and scallops were way over done! Dessert was again, just average. Three courses of which non stood out. At best, average restaurant.

    Very good food with very good service which always make for a great dining experience. Nicely laid out and quiet enough to allow conversation at the table.

    The food was horrible. Ordered the ribeye and it wasn’t good at all not seasoned at all. The taste sooo bland I thought it was me so I had someone else taste it and it was a HUGEEEE NO. Got it sent back and ordered the lasagna. That also wasn’t good. The sauce was salty as ever. Not even edible salty. The calamari was the best thing I’ve had off this menu and it was an appetizer. That was the only dish that was cleared everything else laid dormant on the table. I was highly disappointed. I’ve Only been one time and that is enough to know I will NEVERRRRRR GO BACK.

    Service was good and friendly staff Lasagna is a big disappointment, not only ours but the same for the table right next to us. My guess it’s frozen . Stouffers would be better

    First, let me say that the food was amazing! But the service seriously lacked. We had a 6:15 reservation and were seated a little before 7:00. The hostess had to take our order. We actually never had a server. We had to go looking for someone twice and then again when we wanted out check. Because we did not have a server, we had to tell someone else what we had so they could create a ticket. We were very late for our show :(

    Reservation at 6:00pm. Arrived on time. At 6:30 they still did not have a table for us. We were on our way to a show. Two seats opened up at the bar, so we grabbed them and told the hostess to take us off the list. The bartender was struggling to keep up, but got us fed. My wife had to send her crab cake back because it was cold. Very disappointing evening.
