    I’ve been to this location twice now, first with my husband and this time with a group of friends. I had a nice experience with both visits. Everything my groups ordered both times was delicious. The first time I had a very attentive waitress, we went during lunch time and it wasn’t too busy, she made recommendations and checked in often. The second time we had a pretty new waiter, he didn’t know that there was happy hour when we arrived and the discount ended up not being added to our bill, he also didn’t check in often and we ended up having someone else (maybe the bartender) helping us more. Overall both experiences were nice and I will be back. One thing for diners to be aware of is that the seats are all bench style without a back, they may have seats with backs they can bring out but if anyone needs the extra support this might not be a great dining experience for them.

    We went as a family to celebrate Christmas Eve. We booked as a party of six, but one of our party bailed, so we were only five, which led to our disappointment that they still charged a fixed service charge. Additionally, for half the meal, the music was so loud, we could not talk. Once past this, our food and service was great and we all had a great time.

    As always, the location had plenty of parking and wasn't too crowded. We made Priority reservations, in advance, through OpenTable. We were seated within 2-3 minutes upon arrival for dinner. Our meal consisted of the stuffed mushrooms appetizer, 1lb snow crab, salmon dinner, and I had the Lobster Punch for my cocktail. Everything came out hot and appealing to eat. Our server was a little more attentive with others than to my Mother and I, but other staff stepped in when necessary.
