   The best! Duck spring rolls and cauliflower mash were excellent. Scallops never disappoint and pasta dish was amazing. Hate to see them close! See you next year

   If you are planning a romantic evening this is not the place to go. It is so loud you cannot have a conversation without raising your voice.

   The food was delicious, no complaints there. But the noise level! For the popularity of this restaurant, they could sure invest in some noise reduction panels on the ceiling. My husband and I could barely hear one another for the noise level. I guess in the summer months when the windows are open it’s not bad? But once they’re closed, it’s very bad.

    Quality seafood and a few meat options creatively prepared. The seared scallops were perfectly done and presented in a corn risotto with blueberries, an unusual combination that was out of this world. The short ribs, braised in root beer, were amazingly tender. We had their version of a KitKat bar for dessert, better than anything you ever got in your Halloween bag. Only complaint — you can’t see their sign from the street. We drove by it twice so just set your GPS for the address, park and go in even though it doesn’t look like a restaurant from the outside. You’ll love it. It’s a BYOB and there is outdoor seating as well.

    Our meals were delicious, served in a timely manner and hot. Our server did a very nice job taking care of our table through the night. The only negative was our table was quite close to the table next to us and it felt very claustrophobic.

    it’s expensive and the food mediocre. My quinoa was not thoroughly cooked, and one of my friend’s beef dish was tough. worse was the noise level. The Diving Horse has a lovely interior . It’s ashame that It’s reputation doesn’t hold up.

    We were happy to secure a reservation at this cute, popular dining venue. There is no parking lot, but aside from that everything was near perfect. Our server, Patrick, was excellent at his job! The chef was not able to accommodate a substitution, but the food was delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to family and friends advising them that the noise level is high.
