    Excellent server. The Tuna poke bowl and tuna sushi rolls very much much spicier than we could enjoy. But everything was fresh and well presented.

    It was just disappointing. Maybe it was because our reservation was early, at 5:30 PM, but that shouldn’t matter. The lobster Mac and cheese was underwhelming and the cheeseburger had lettuce that was old and tomatoes that still had the stem piece. Definitely not worth $135 for two dinners with no drinks.

    Sunday evening dinner for 2 wasn’t too crowded when we arrived. Hostess didnt ask any seating preferences inside/outside or within the dining room. Seated us within a small concentration of folks seemed odd. Glass on doors and windows could use a good cleaning Inside was clean. Didn’t use restrooms Our Waitress was pleasant and prompt and accurate. Cocktails were delicious but filled with ice Food was excellent just something off with the rolls were the size of golf balls. We asked for extra and they gave to us no problem. Ordered our own cocktail from bar with less ice those were delicious. Ordered a slice of Boston cream pie for dessert it was delicious but took 15 mins to reach our table. I think the restaurant became a bit busier towards the end of our meal.

    One of our lobster was mushy and we have since learned that it is due to the lobster having gone bad (was dead for too long)! Management waived the cost for our soup and a new lobster was prepared. Needless to say it took a while to prepared the second one at which time we were no longer hungry and took it to go. Instead of showing genuine remorse, the manager was indifferent. We have been here many times before and this is the first time we had an issue with their food. The indifference is concerning - please inspect your food before you put it in your mouth.
