As frequent diners at The Collins we usually are highly pleased. This experience was an exception. Four different servers worked with us, but no one really paid attention. We were greeted positively by the first who noted this was a birthday celebration. We never saw that server again. There were long waits between courses, out of the ordinary for this restaurant, despite it being less busy than usual. The division of labor between the one who takes drinks orders, the one who delivers the drinks, the one who takes foor orders and the one who delivers led to a disjointed experience and not an efficient one. At the end as we prepared to consider post-meal beverages and dessert, nothing was ever offered. The bill was delivered and that was that. We are hoping this outing was an anomaly as we will likely try it at least one more time before moving to any of many dozen venues.

Great food. Great service. Good house wines. A bit too noisy for conversation. It’s a bit pricey but a very enjoyable experience. Had the shrimp cocktail. 2 house wines. Entree salad. Crab cake and greens. About 95.00 with tax and tip. Lots of great choices and they do have a happy hour.

An excellent dinner (and a birthday celebration for my son). The short rib mac'n'cheese and the guacamole were great appetizers. Both entrees were perfectly prepared. And...of course...the coconut cream pie was simply astounding!

Great food however service was terrible. Waitress was no where to be found, we ordered drink refills from 3 different people (none of which were our waitress). Ordered wine to have with our prime rib but by the time it came to the table we were more than halfway through our meal. The restaurant was not busy, plenty of open tables. Unsure if we will come back but if we do we will sit at the bar and hope for better service.

First time going to this restaurant and my wife arrived there a little earlier, and the waiter took his time to come back to see what we desire for cocktails or appetizers. Unfortunately that was 20 minutes later. The over all experience went down hill from there. Water refills, do you have any questions about the menu. Zero customer service experience. When the food and drinks came out not bad. Just shows you customer service sucks even in a area of money. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t waste your money here, there are much better options in the area.

We ordered our usual Crab Cakes for me and Mushroom Lasagna for my husband. We also had the Noble bread which is delicious with the honey salted butter. The food never disappoints . Arrived in time for happy hour so were able to have our wine and beer at the happy hour price. Its one of our go to places for dinner. If you haven't been there its a must to your list of places to try.

This was my 2nd time dining here and they appear to be consistent in their excellence. The charred Brussels sprouts are flavorful, melt in your both and absolutely delicious. I had the rotisserie chicken with spaghetti squash and it was fantastic. So much flavor and cooked to perfections. This is one of my favorite restaurants.

Everything was going well until it took 20 minutes for my husband to get his coffee after I had gotten my decaf. Our deserts weren’t served until the coffee was done and my them mine was tepid. We were on a schedule and their failure to brew of pot of coffee really made us late.

We ordered the oysters and the artichokes for appetizers. Oysters are good. They artichokes, well, I wouldn’t order them again. I was disappointed when our entrées came out before we were finished with our appetizers. It felt rushed and inappropriate for this kind of restaurant. We ordered the redfish and the salmon and both werevery good. The pumpkin pie was excellent. Our server was very attentive and helpful.

We were very disappointed. The music was way too loud to have a conversation. We asked multiple times if they could turn it down and nothing was done. We asked one more time and was told they had no control on it. We had been there approximately 30 minutes, but had not ordered. At that point we chose to leave and go to Seasons 52 where the music was just in the back ground and had a lovely luncheon with great conversation. We are a group of retired ladies from all over the Valley that do a monthly luncheon and love to try new restaurants. This was a first time we had to walk out for any reason.
