   Drinks were great, service quite slow, stale upside down cake, flavor/almost lobsterless risotto, atmosphere was good. Way over priced for the quality of food served.

   Service was great the very first time I ever went this past Sunday took forever to get drink orders had to finally stop a waitress/waiter food was good but the pasta station thumbs down they switched staff was horrible and was the most driest pasta I ever tasted and had and that’s what won me the first time the pasta I was looking forward to that was very disappointed

   The buffet was extensive and delicious. The food was high quality and well cooked. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Overall we were very satisfied. I thought, though, that for the price they charged they could have included a beverage such as coffee, tea or juice.

    Our waiter, Kyle, was outstanding, knowledgeable, friendly, funny and made our first experience there awesome. His entree recommendation gives him snd the restaurant an A+. The sea bass was to die for. Lastly, to finish dinner right around the start of the LIVE jazz happy hour was the dessert. I will visit again.

    Server was very friendly the meals we had were good with one exception, crab bisque. I would not recommend there is NO crab meat which a bisque I get but they presented is really nice you think they are bringing you a beautiful bowl with some crab meat and they pour the bisque over what you think could be crab ( I did not get to actually see it ) but it’s potatoes ! And the crab taste is no where to be tasted. Are other items were great and what we expected. Prices are average for the times and area. This was our first time and I’m sure we will go back.

    Loved it! The decor was nice and elegant. Service was a 1000! Drinks were amazing! I had the sparkling mojito and my friend had the smashing strawberry drink! Then I had a sangria! The drink were all a 10! I ordered the lamb meatballs! Omg I wish I could spell how it tasted! It was out of this world! My friend had pasta of some kind, she said I was delicious but a little salty. Let’s talk about the service again because it was one of the things that made me give them five stars! Even the manager came out and spoke to us and even served us some water! I mean the restaurant is doing its thing!

    Smashing Grapes - GambrillsResponded on July 19, 2022Dear diner, We agree that our sparkling mojito is a must on a warm summer day!

    Second time visiting the establishment and decided to bring my boyfriend out for date night. Our experience was great per usual. We decided to sit outside in the patio and the view was giving everything costal!! It felt like we were in Cali or Miami. The music added an extra touch to the vibes. Our waiter Stephen was very pleasant and sociable. The same energy he gave us was the same he gave every one of his guest. That is service!! Our food was tasty and cooked to perfection!! Only put off was the ID part- you have to have an actual physical copy and not a screenshot and no your passport won’t count either - thought that policy was a bit strict. But nonetheless my bf was able to find his eventually. I always order a bottle of wine when I come - you get more for your buck! Thank me later !!

    Breakfast buffet was very good. They have different stations than other breakfast buffets, such as a crepe station and an avocado toast station. Coffee not included in buffet price and charged per cup. $5 mimosas, bloody mary's, etc. 18% gratuity automatically added to check regardless of party size, yet there was still tip jars in front of each buffet station. Would go, again, but understand better.

    My brothers steak was wagyu allegedly and was so hard it took three family members to cut it with a steak knife. how embarrassing. My pasta and brothers pasta were both hard and dry and 30 dollar entrees. My moms dish was dry. We have never complained to a restaurant before because we don’t like to cause trouble yet for the first time EVER I had to say something. It’s a shame because this place is expensive and I chose this place for my parents to buy my birthday dinner and I’m embarrassed they had to spend all that money for a mediocre dinner in crofton. The prices are not worth it. Not at ALL.

    This was my 1st visit. Good customer service, etc. The food was hit or miss. Only 1 out of 3 items I ordered was extraordinarily flavorful. The other 2 food items didn't have a lot of flavor and the serving size was a little small - more like small plates, not what I'm accustomed to, even in high end restaurants. Also the online menu was different from what was offered. Perhaps the online menu includes primarily dinner offerings, which was what attracted me to the restaurant in the first place. The menu offerings onsite (or the lunch menu) was okay, but nothing to get excited over. I failed to mention, there is an extra fee for card payments.
