Excellent cocktails! Top shelf, attentive service. Not pushy, but they don't forget that you are there. We typically create our own "surf and turf" by ordering one seafood entree or appetizer and one beef, then share. Scallops were wonderful. As always.

It was simply amazing. there was a sweet card wishing us well on our anniversary. Our waitress, Ideera (I apologize for not knowing how to spell her name) was so sweet, attentive and really caught our vibe for the night. She made great recommendations. There was another fellow who came with our entrees. He was so funny and shared my same love of bread. Even the young men who came to remove plates from the table were so polite and resperctful. One of them even walked me to the restroom and I just couldn’t believe the level of service offered by everyone. We will most definitely be back! The Lobster Mac and Cheese—the absolute best we’ve had thus far. Even better than some of our favorite local spots along the coast. The Harrison’s had a magical 5th Anniversary!

Service was outstanding. Attentive and friendly. Cocktails were generous and tasty. Seafood was great, steak was thinner than expected and more medium well than medium rare, but flavor was very good. Didn't make a fuss about it. Shared the main dish with no upcharge. Sides are shareable size, which wasn't an issue for us. Surprised that sides are an additional charge, so that affected the value rating a bit. Cheesecake and bread pudding were delicious. Overall, very good first experience and will return.

Our first visit was to celebrate our 49th Anniversary. Our server, Perser and his colleagues were outstanding and very accommodating. Manager Mike Lee gave us complimentary desserts ( a nice surprise) for our celebration. We also had a great conversation with him as we know his family very well. The food was perfectly prepared, plentiful and delicious. We definitely will return.

Definitely one of our favorite places in the area. The food has always been outstanding to us, but you pay for it, especially now in out pandemic-affected economy. We have yet to have anything that wasn’t terrific. Bananas Foster for dessert is a treat. Service is usually exemplary. Not quite as attentive this last time, but it was a holiday and they were very busy. Still very good though. Owner is almost always there to attend to guests and oversee the place. Highly recommended.

Rey’s was a ‘miss’ last evening -Friday, May 6, 5:30 reservation. We have dined here many times & liked it, but not sure if we’ll return. Positives: The ahi tuna appetizer & wedge salad were good, as were cocktails & waiter recommended wine. Negatives: Waiter told us there were no specials after specifically asking him if there were, then hearing later the server at the next table describe 4-5 specials to her table. His excuse was that he was told there were none because it was a busy night. The ‘Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail’ came 4 to a plate & looked like they were plucked off one of those small rounders you can buy at the grocery store. I brought this to the waiters attention & he brought it back with 4 larger shrimp. (At $14, you should not have to ask for what’s described on the menu.) ‘Prime Strip Steaks’ -The steaks were cut well, but ‘prime’ they were not. Mine, cooked medium, was tough to chew & lacked flavor. Maybe it’s a sign of the times, which of course is unfortunate, but as as a customer I don’t have to conform to having mediocre dining experiences.
