    Went on a date night with husband and we really had a lovely experience. Food was delicious: we shared crab cakes, Korean Chicken Wings, Calamari. Entrees Husband had NY Steak served with finger potatoes and steamed carrots broccoli cauliflower medley. I had a Herb-lemon Butter sauced Swordfish with purple mashed potatoes and Swiss chard. We finished with dessert of crème brûlée, Husband had the Sicilian Kiss dessert drink and I had an espresso. Everything was fantastic. Service was very good. Ambiance was ok as there was some construction going on so some of the ceiling was tarped. Not too distracting, but for me, it took away some of the ambiance.

    Ordered drinks and apps which arrived quickly. Really had not even started the apps when salads arrived. Just finished the salads (still had un-eaten apps on the table) when entrees arrived. Felt really rushed. Finished entrees, ordered desserts which also came quickly. Finished dessert asked for check which came quickly, presented CC for payment then waited 20 minutes for our server to come back with the charge slips.

    Our group of nine were treated in a courteous and professional manner. Our prime waiter took excellent care of us for our friends birthday. He put candles on the cake and lit them and delivered the cake to the table at the appropriate time.

    Dear Timothy, Thank you so much for the kind words - happy to hear the Birthday was a success. We'll be sure and pass along your appreciation to the waiter. He'll love to hear that his care was excellent. Thank you so much and look forward to serving you again soon!

    We really enjoyed the atmosphere and ambiance. The Meal started out very well with Calamari and Ahi Wan Tons. Both were excellent. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. Our main course arrived before we finished the appetizer and before the wine was opened and served. We really don't like being rushed like that. I ordered the Filet Stroganoff. What arrived was nothing like the picture on the menu website. The meat pieces were small and extremely tough, certainly not a filet. More like cheap stew meat. Very disappointing. My husband ordered the Short Rib. However the wrong dish - Texas Beef Brisket. Eventually the Short Rib was delivered and unfortunately it was dried out and lacked gravy. We ate leisurely and even so it was almost 1/2 hour after we had finished that our waiter returned an even then only after we asked the bus boy to send him over. As it was our first time we had high hopes but we were disappointed. We really enjoyed the ambiance so may give another try but it won't be at the top of our list for go to places.

    We decided to eat here because my hubby wanted a pork chop dinner which didn’t disappoint and I had fish which was delicious. We started with cocktails and wine with our meal. Service was excellent and we both enjoyed our date night . Would highly recommend this place as we have been here many times and it’s always been great.
