I apologize for the over cooked fish. We have ask for the wait staff to check on the food after it is served obviously we need to work harder. We are currently looking to expand and place a patio and that is the reason for the extra equipment most of it has now been moved. But I do wish to apologize to you

Pleasure enough to repeat. The menu is ample, a good selection and variety. We had the sea bass & the filet, both were well prepared and tasty. The ambience and decor are nice, with one exception. It looks like an equipment purge is in process. This is my second visit in a month where unused coolers, cases and stuff junked up the appearance. Servers were good in bar & restaurant. Happy hour prices were reasonable. Definitely will return. Lunch there is also good.

Excellent food and service. Odd restaurant equipment items in places near the rest room and other areas of the restaurant. Otherwise, nice decor, etc.

My husband had the ribeye and I had the shrimp stuffed flounder. The shrimp stuffed flounder was very good. The problem was the steak that was initially brought out was a very thin cut ribeye and was overcooked. It had to be sent back. We shared my flounder until his meal came out so that we could at least both be eating at the same time. Here is the deal: if you are going to charge that kind of money for a ribeye, you absolutely cannot send a flank steak sized cut out. Save those cuts for a salad or something else. The second steak that came out was what was expected and was very good. We will be back; the food is good.

I was disappointed as I had been there just last week and wanted to order the same things. Since it was valentines day they had a limited menu and I was unable to order what I wanted. My Salmon was over cooked and crispy one end so a little dry.

Ordered a bottle of wine from their menu They charged me 125.00 more for a bottle of wine not on their menu. Admitted their mistake. No credit or deduct. Manager never came and discussed. Poor service. Never got my wife’s main course. Sad.
