   I took my work team here during a conference. The place is really pretty and they gave us our own little room so it was great that we were all able to talk and hear each other. Some of us loved our food but some of us thought it lacked flavor. I guess it depends on what you order. The stuffed cod had no flavor and the crabmeat stuffing is all breadcrumbs. They were also out of clams and scallops which were in so many seafood dishes so I couldn’t order either of the two dishes I wanted. But there were a lot of dishes that were really good like the beef shank and the lobster ravioli.

   my wife ordered chicken parmigiana. The chicken was dry and hard to cut. The cod i was served was also dry without much taste. The bread that was served came out cold as if it was thawed from freezer. I had no complaints with the service. Overall very underwhelming.

   Fruite de mare was delicious and fresh. Broth consistency was perfect and flavorful with garlic and I think red pepper flakes for just a bit of heat. Others at the table enjoyed the filet mignon, eggplant rollattini and spinach ravioli. Everyone had positive comments about the food. Our server, Ashley, was attentive and pleasant.

   from start to finish it was a bad experience. We had a reservation for 9 pm and didn’t get seated for a good 25 minutes after that. We didn’t get watered or greeted by anyone until about 10 minutes after that. Once we were finally greeted by our server she took our order for apps and there was no filet or ny strip left(she had no control over that so it’s understandable). Our table didn’t get breaded until the food runner came with our apps and we requested it. The pizza was soggy and fell apart. Once we got our entrees the vegs were over cooked. We were constantly out of water and our server almost never came over to give us more. So I wouldn’t recommend coming here and I don’t think i’ll be here ever again. I usually don’t do bad reviews like that but as someone who works in a restaurant the service and food here was unacceptable.

   There was a scheduling hiccup so even though we had a reservation we waited for 25 minutes for our table along with 15 other couples it seemed like. They didn’t comp anything for the inconvenience which I thought was a little unprofessional. On valentines they were out of Filet, NY strip and Osso Bucco (2 of which we were going to order). Then one of us ordered a pork chop and it came out VERY RARE the chef cooked a new one though which was nice. I think the restaurant had a really bad night but we definitely won’t be back.

    We greatly enjoyed our Valentine’s Day dinner. The food was fantastic. The waitress is very attentive, and the drinks were great.
