We have been to this restaurant quite a few times. We love the ambiance and the service is always good. As far as the food this time not quite! A few of our lobsters had to be returned. The replacement was shrimp and they were not very good either. Not going to lie abit disappointed this time around! Please figure out your fish situation because that something that needs to be worked on.😞

I felt the food was not up to par with pricing. It is Easter Sunday and the restaurant is basically empty with the exception of may 4 tables, one last party came as we were leaving. Although the server was "cute" not professional with what the restaurant is trying to represent. The service was slow. Beautiful restaurant, just not sub par though.

It was a perfect Easter brunch! We had entrees from the regular menu and dessert from the brunch menu. DELISH! The service was 10 stars!! So beautiful inside and so comfortable! —And for those of you who don’t want a ton of salt on your food, this is the place to dine. Perfectly seasoned food. Will definitely be back!

Service was excellent! Food was very good. A little noisy but still not to bad because we still can make a small conversation without screaming

As always, the ambiance, food and service were delightful. This restaurant is an oasis of comfort, grace and uniquely prepared flavors and components. Scratch cooking always takes longer than par cooked bulk cooking found elsewhere, plan on sitting back, savoring your companions, the atmosphere, and cocktails-you can always hear yourself think and have great conversation. A unique experience.
