   What an amazing brunch! We were celebrating a 50th Birthday and I could not have picked a better restaurant. Our server was friendly and patient because we were visiting and took our time ordering . It was so nice to enjoy our visit and not be rushed. The food was delicious and the desserts were the best I have ever had. I definitely recommend this restaurant and we will be back soon. Can’t wait!

   Crab bisque was really delicious, with lots of crab meat. Although I had only the spinach salad for an entree, it was delicious and loaded with all the goodies. My brother crab (or shrimp?) and lobster pasta dish, and he said it was rich and delicious with lots of lobster. Service was a little awkward but nothing particularly bad about it. And the decor, the building, is just fabulous. Loved the place.

   Good place for a celebration. Service was very attentive. Wife had the duck which was done well. My steak was overdone, appearing as though it had been left to grill too long on one side. Perhaps it would have been less noticeable if it were a thicker cut.

   It was just terrible. We won’t be back anytime soon. We were treated like the staff was annoyed that we were there. It took literally 30 minutes for us to even get a cocktail. My filet was overdone and dry. It was just so miserable we wont be back. So sad- we were so excited to have a reservation there and a night out!

   We went on a Sunday when Valentine's Day was on Friday and Presidents Day was on Monday. The restaurant was extremely busy, which caused both bar and table service to be slow. The large bar was understaffed with only one person ending. The bartender and our waiter were both hustling, but wait times for drinks and courses were long. The setting is very nice, the ambiance is good, and the noise level is moderate. If we return it won't be on a holiday weekend.

    They claimed that Open Table book excess reservations. We all had to wait. I had friends with a 6:30 reservation for their anniversary that were not seated till 8:15 and then they waited 30 minutes with no contact and left. For us we had had a 6:00 reservation seated about 6:30 and then waited 30 minutes for a waiter. Runners brought everything to our table the waiter brought nothing. We did not get our food till about 7:30. The steaks were raw and I am a rare to MR guy. No one checked on us so there was no way to adjust. Given the way things were going we just took the food home. We waited for almost 45 minutes for the check. When the waiter arrived he said I am sure you don't want a dessert menu at this time. I did send an e-mail to their website hoping management would address the issues, but so far no response. I realize restaurants have an off night, but really??? You should double check if it is true that you over booked them as they were telling everyone it was Open Tables fault
