    This was one of the most disappointing “fine dining” experience I’ve had. I honestly cannot believe the prices for what we got. We sent the Mac and cheese back… macand cheese! And when we told the server she agreed! “Yeah I agree it’s not good.” Truffle fries had a gross splat of “truffle” on the top of some out of a frozen box cold fries. Sent those back also. For this price point the food was an absolute joke. 0% recommend. We were so embarked of the experience (we had picked the restaurant for us and three other couples) that we paid the entire bill bc it was such a waste of money.

    Overall, very disappointing. the prices that are posted online are different than what you pay in the restaurant. All menu items we had were $10-$15 more in the restaurant. The service was subpar , just not professional. The food was mediocre at best. The ambience is more like a cafeteria than a prime steakhouse.. we will not return, don’t waste your money

    The globe was very cool. They had nice blankets and pillows set out for comfort. We had plenty to eat for 5 of us. The server was very nice but it took several minutes to get everything set up and then another 20 minutes to get drinks. Despite that, there was still plenty of time to enjoy our bubble. I do recommend. It was a fun experience.

    The server, Donna, was fantastic. the wait time and food could use improvement. The air conditioning was on full blast in our face and it made the meal uncomfortable.

    TERRIBLE. Disorganized. Food came out cold. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else for a fine dining experience.

    First time at this restaurant. Tuna tartare and fried oysters for appetizers were good and shareable size. Main courses, duck ok, halibut too heavy and with a heavy sauce, seafood broth ok. Too fool to get deserts.

    The restaurant was busy but not overcrowded. It was definitely a loud/energetic atmosphere, but that didn’t detract from the meal. The bar and dining room were probably understaffed but everyone working was busting their butts for us and had a great attitude. The quality of the steaks and the wine selection I’d consider on par with a Morton’s or Ruth’s Chris. We each had a filet and shared the wild mushroom and creamed spinach sides. Everything was excellent.

    Service was really long but restaurant was not busy (8:00PM). Food was good except “rhode Island calamari”. Kids Mac&cheese were only pasta and butter, small taste of cheese. We opted for truffle Mac and cheese ($20) and it was the same kids Mac and cheese with truffle oil… Overall price is really expensive. (~$300 for 2 adults, 2 kids) It was a good experience for our first stay, but we’ll try other area’s restaurant next time.

    The food was ok. The Caesar salad was a bit stale, the French onion soup was very good. The duck was good, the fish stew was not good. And the price was quite high, nearly $190 including tip. Wouldn’t go there again
