    Soup and entrées were warm at best. No complaints on the weight staff – but for the price, the food was not as expected.

    Great place with great food. Our waiter rushed us for no reason. Thought it was due to Christmas but plenty of tables open and he was talkative to other tables. Very odd experience.

    It is definitely NOT worth the $$. I was REALLY LOOKING FORWARD to this dinner. We ate there on Christmas Eve. The older hostesses was “snooty”, she just was not friendly and looked at you like you were a bother. The other hostesses that seated us was friendlier. The Server was AWESOME !! The food came quickly. Those are the ONLY good things. The food was cold. I had the Caribbean lobster tail. It came with leek mashed potatoes and asparagus. The asparagus was huge. It looked like the fingers of the Hulk very un appealing. The mashed potatoes were cold and to add insult to injury they looked as if they had used an ice cream scoop to put them on the plate. When you’re paying $71 for a lobster tail meal and you get cold mashed potatoes that look like they were served in a cafeteria in your elementary school it’s very disappointing. The other things that we had the clam chowder, Caesar salads, the oysters, and a shrimp and scallop dish. We’re all very disappointing as well. None of the items that were supposed to be hot or hot. Everything was cold. In defense of the restaurant, we did not bring our concerns to them as I was dining with people who don’t like to make waves. In respect to them, I kept my mouth shut. But they did have the same things to say after we left the restaurant. Nobody was happy with the meals that they had had . I would like to say it was because it was busy and they were turning and burning and doing their thing, but unfortunately, yes, it was busy, but it wasn’t chaotic and to have the food come out as quickly as it did and still be cold and those potatoes were ice cold Just makes you wonder if it was somebody else’s meal sitting in a window for too long. Needless to say, we won’t be going back.
