    The surf and turf was delicious! The lobster tail was one of the largest I have ever been served. Although the server was pleasant the service was notably slow!

    Table of 6. Old friends celebrating Christmas. There for three hours by our choice. Visiting and enjoying each other’s company. Food delicious and hot. Timing perfect as we ordered appetizers and visited then order meals visited then ordered desert. Service was attentive, friendly, professional and prompt. Removed dishes after each course, brought clean silverware and plates for each course and refilled beverages constantly without being asked. PERFECT

    Our first time here! GD did not disappoint and we had some wonderful dishes. My husbands sole was outstanding. We would have ordered coffees & desserts but service was slow so we decided not to wait. The Amtrak roared by while we were dining which added to the atmosphere!

    Food was good. We made reservations at least a week in advance. Stated it was for graduation. Tbh we were seated at table that should not have been acceptable for guests. The heating vent was directly under table and table faced into kitchen. It is 3rd or 4th time we have been there for special occasions. It was definitely not special.

    We celebrated our daughter’s graduation at the Gandy Dancer. The waiter was amazing, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy and festive. We really loved the entire experience and would definitely return!
