    Unbelievable food and at an affordable price. At our table we had the beef tenderloin, the nachos, the lobster roll and the seafood chowder. All were outstanding. Service was great although they seemed to be running with very few staff. Guy playing guitar and singing was a really nice touch.

    This is my second time eating here. Both times the wait for food seemed excessive for a restaurant that didn't seem overly busy; however, it is attached to a hotel and there could have been room service orders that I am not aware of. The food was good. And here comes the disappointing part of my review and the reason for the low stars. I ordered lobster risotto. The first bite contained a very large (3") piece of lobster cartilage that narrowly missed getting lodged in my throat. When the server came around to check in, I advised him. He offered to have my dish recooked but that wasn't necessary as the damage was done. He took the cartilage and left. He never said another word. Assuming my meal would be comped, I didn't say anything either. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I paid full price for my meal and no one said anything. No apologies either. Quite disappointing.

    Food was mediocre and overpriced. Service was poor (waited 25 mins for our bill after saying we were ready, and the waiter was standing around looking at us most of this time). Won't be going back!
