   Very disappointed that on OpenTable it did not indicate that the restaurant would be closing 15 minutes after I would schedule seating time

   Great lunch combo but they raised the price since two weeks ago by $5 or $10 for 2.

   I ordered the backened tuna steak. It was coocked to perfection. The chowder wonderfull as usual. We enjoyed the new side dishes: Quinoa Pad Thai (absolutely delicious) and the Curry mixed vegetables. Our waiter was very attentive and cordial, excellent service. We will be back!

   ok quality innovation service have slipped. But prices up. Sad. it's not fine dining anymore as it once was in the past. Used to be great at preparing any type of fish, shell fish on menu. Understand it changed owners in last few years, and the difference shows.

   I am usually a fan of this restaurant, but the quality of the food has declined. The tuna was overcooked, the scallops were nonexistent and swimming in butter and the fried calamari was cold. Overall, a disappointment.

    Our reservation was for 7:45 PM. We waited about 15 minutes before being seated, which was not a big deal as it was a Friday night. After being seated, we waited approximately 22 minutes before a server came over to greet us. In which time we put in our appetizer and drink order along with the water in rolls that the server said he would bring over. Quite a bit of time past before we received our drinks which will now watered down. Followed by our appetizer. We had to hunt down the server in order to get water. Our server disappeared multiple times and not only did he neglect our table, but the surrounding tables. Our main course was delicious. However, we did not get to order a second drink or dessert, because the server disappeared multiple times. We sat with dirty dishes on our table during our entire stay. I had to stand up and put my coat on and hold my credit card up in order to get the service attention that we were ready to leave. Because it took so long for the server to even circle back to our table we did not take our uneaten food.
