    The Caesar salad was dry, so dry that I couldn’t eat it. There was hardly any dressing on it, the lettuce was shredded like it would be on a taco, there were no croutons and no anchovies. It was the worst caesar I have ever had. The lobster fettucine was just claw meat. I expect shortcuts from lesser establishments but for what they charge, there shouldn’t be any shortcuts. My companions pork chop was juicy and excellent. It was very loud, so loud that we had to scream to talk, probably because they had a loud musician.

    Alex, We have addressed your concerns with our culinary team. Thank you for your honest feedback. We are comforted to hear you enjoyed the pork chop.
