   The 7 fishes Christmas Eve was fantastic! Every dish was fabulous from trio appetizer to great lobster bisque, followed by a Shepard’s Pie to die for, tender and succulent halibut, ending with a “Zabaglione” didn’t know what to expect with that desert but it was so delicious! Our waiter was personable and made the evening very special and we even got to chat with the chef and hear the story of the menu’s origin from his Italian tradition. Unfortunately there were not as many that attended the event, their loss but our wonderful experience!

   We attended the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve. There were hits and misses on the menu. The oysters Rockefeller and Fishermen’s pie were delicious. The losbster bisque and the butter sauce on the halibut were disappointing. The service was excellent and the wine pairing was good but the venue lacked the ambiance of a fine dining experience. Overall it was a rather expensive dinner and we didn’t feel it was really worth the cost.

   The restaurant is too bright. Feels like cafeteria rather then nice cozy dinning experience.

   It's a beautiful hotel and space and the Thanksgiving-forward meal was excellent: A mushroom stuffed turkey roulade with yams and brussel sprouts - the turkey was moist and the entire meal was flavorful The pumpkin cheesecake was very tasty. The service and our waitress, Monique, was fantastic and attentive, and the ambience was perfect for our family holiday meal.

   The our server was terrible. He got the wrong wine and after we pointed it out, he got defensive and lied. BTW The wine he brought $50 per bottle more than what we ordered. Thankfully, the manager made it right and took $100 (the difference between what we ordered and what we were brought) off of our check. BTW She was great, the food was very good but the server was LAME. It kind of ruined our time.

   Great meal. The green chili soup was fantastic. The pasta was perfect (and spicy). Will be back

   Disappointed and will not be returning. We ordered the linguine and clams and crab risotto and both were underwhelming. Both dishes lacked flavor and the crab dish was described as lump crab and had only one lump of crab with strings of crab mixed into the risotto. Maybe it was an off night for them but I would not recommend.

    It's so nice to have a good spot for a sitdown breakfast on campus - the food was very good - especially the Rosemary potatoes and breakfast sausage - both delicious and high quality. Also, portions are very good so excellent value.
