    Food was excellent with small exception of they should’ve steamed the mussels a little longer to open easier. The bar service was S L O W. I’m good with a newbie shadow-wait person, but the trainer then, should be top-notch instead of just good.

    Our first visit and we had an excellent experience. Reserved table ahead of time and was greeted by first name upon arriving (a nice touch!). Our server, Rebecca, was very personable and welcoming. Very responsive. The manager, Byron, visited our table to ensure everything was up to their quality standard. An excellent experience. We intend to visit again!

    I expected a higher quality of food and service. We were going to choose Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and I wish we had. Food wasn’t visually appealing and it wasn’t warm/hot.

    Horrible experience for Father’s Day. Waited 40 minutes for a drink, and never received the bread we were to expect. Informed the manager, which did not help the situation. 2 of the 4 meals were incorrect. Will never be back.

    We were immediately sat at 6:00 PM upon arrival. Waiter stopped by shortly after for a drink order. Drinks arrived to the table at 6:35. Waiter stated he would return to take our meal order and he did not return. Restaurant was not busy, the table behind us and in front of us both had to send plates back to the kitchen. At 6:45 we finally decided to leave.
