    As is the case since Covid, the prices are quite high, but the quality is excellent unlike many other restaurants where the standards have fallen.

    Great business lunch, good choices from salads, steaks, seafood and pastas. This time I started with the lobster bisque and then I had a delicious new orleans style redfish that was out of this world. Service was outstanding from the host t the entrance till the end of our meal. I recommend this formal restaurant for business lunch and dinner, they also have a great bar for good drinks and cocktails.

    My Greek Salad today had an olive that included the pit. I bit into it and was lucky not to have cracked a tooth. The Manager came over and apologized and it was all good!

    Service was very slow, in fact sub par! We were there for lunch, almost the first diners there and only ordered salads yet, later arriving diners were being served before us.

    Had an early 5:30 reservation for 2 on a Tuesday night - and was very surprised at how full the restaurant was - 3 large tables (8+) of business diners plus a few scattered smaller groups. The back half of the restaurant was not available due to a private party - so that is likely why the front section was totally full. I ordered the halibut on the recommendation of our waiter - a chunky piece of fist, but it seems a little dry to me. I also substituted brussel sprouts for the asparagus - and the sprouts were quite salty, so I could only eat a small bite at a time combined with the fish or bread. My friend got the 8oz filet, and was very happy with her meal. The service was good and kept us ahead of the larger party orders - we appreciate that.
