    I really enjoyed my first time coming here and I would definitely come back, only problem was that it was very cold where we were sitting.

    Had a wonderful brunch, from start to finish, celebrating a birthday. Hostess was helpful and friendly, waiter attentive, food hit all the right notes, and view, even on a stormy day, was beautiful.

    Service quality was sub par. Not up to expectations of what is supposed to be an upscale restaurant. Food was decent. Do not think price matched what is provided. Would not recommend to family or friends. Many other restaurants in area that provide better service and food quality.

    The dinner was Outstanding and the Best Part was our Server, SAM!! He was so conscientious and funny..we loved him from the start! The Menu was excellent and the complimentary bubbly was all of an ounce (could have at least filled the glass a 1/4 full ;o)

    Steak was good. Salmon a bit dry. Lobster bisque more like lobster broth. Very watery. Realize busy night but let me finish appetizer before meal brought out. Cocktails ok
