    Our server was great but the kitchen was backed up and that was disappointing.

    Regular customers until our recent experience. Had a dinner reservation, were promptly seated then after a reasonable time our order for appetizers was taken. However after reminding the waiter twice about our order over a forty minute span there was no sign of our food and no sign of our waiter, so we left.

    Everything was excellent. One of the better Mai Tai’s I’ve had. The Lobster Potstickers and the Spicy Tuna Roll were a great start to a fantastic meal. We continued with a split wedge salad, which was fresh and large enough for three. I had the snapper, my wife had the butterfish and our friend enjoyed her mac-crusted daily special. All three dishes were excellent. Ending the meal with a chocolate soufflé was an excellent choice and a great ending to a fantastic meal. Our server, Ashlynn, was excellent! Going back again soon!

    Our reservation was at 7:15. We were on time and had to wait 15 minutes for a table. The place was less than half full. They were out of lobster bisque and had no other soup alternative. The service was slow. Our filet had to be sent back to be cooked properly 2x.
