   Always love coming to S & L. The people here do out of their way to create a wonderful dining experience. Food is amazing, restaurant ambience is good and the decor is unique. Sitting outside in the patio and watching the sunset is the icing on the cake! Thanks again

   Not the best dining experience. The host who greeted us was unpleasant and rude, didn’t seem like someone well suited for hospitality employment. Once seated, our server was great. The food unfortunately was a let-down. The “poached prawns” were dry and gummy, the cocktail sauce was quagulated and inedible. I was quite surprised that plate would be allowed to come out of the kitchen. My “New York Striploin” was fine but the sides not so much. Ceasar salad was way overdressed and the lobster fried rice was extremely sweet.

   Our server Jayson was AMAZING!!! We all enjoyed our Uncles birthday dinner very much. Especially his gifted cookie and ice cream dessert. 😋 Suggestion; another fish option other than salmon.

   Delicious food. Everything was executed well. Our server Dalia really did a great job making our night out an extra special one. The live music was great, just a little too loud making conversation difficult, talented guy just need to notch the volume down a little.

   If you go before 6pm when happy hour is on, the limited happy hour menu is a bargain. There's not many places with sub $20 meals and full table service left. Considering the good deals and location, this should be a popular place. On a Monday early evening, during the 1.5 hours we were there were only 3 tables. I realize it's the slowest night of the week, but there's enough demand to fill more tables elsewhere. The main reason for this is almost certainly the food quality. We arrived willing and expecting to pay more. If we want cheap food, there's a hundred choices on every second corner and in every strip mall. None of us were impressed with the food quality. It's powerful seasonings heavy with salt and/or sugar, or no flavor at all. The Master Chicken, for example, is just way too salty for my taste and the accompanying corn mash too sweet. The seasoning is so powerful the chicken was almost unidentifiable by flavor alone. Seasoning is supposed to enhance the flavor, not be the flavor. Meanwhile, my wife thought they forgot to add Ahi Tuna to her meal because it was flavorless. Other minor issues were the lighting over the tables is too dim, the restaurant was too cold, and the background music playlist wasn't very good. The ambience is just not as appealing as other chains like Cactus Club, Joey's, Brown's, or Earl's. It's unlikely we will return.

   The service wasn’t great. Our server barely came around and it took forever to get drinks. We sat for over 15 to 20 minutes to get martini’s. We had to ask a couple of times and saw them just sitting there at the bar.

   We came here for my husband’s 40th birthday celebration and from start to finish the staff, food and atmosphere were absolutely outstanding! Our entire group was made to feel special, and were attentively waited on the entire time. Our server was knowledgeable about all the menu items, the food was incredibly delicious, and the live music was a beautiful addition. They made it a birthday to remember for sure! 10/10 all the way!! We will be back!
