The setting and service was top class. But for the price, I’d much rather eat at oyster bay. Food was uneventful, plain and simple; no pun intended

Great food and ambiance. Very pricey and sadly short pours on wines. Like to have a good sized glass of wine instead of just a couple of sips per glass.

The kitchen closing time was the only piece of info we felt was less than hospitable, as it was explained twice in a way that felt a little rude. The place was packed. It wasn’t as if we were the last table. But all of those feelings left us the moment our first course arrived. Every detail of every dish is near perfect. The drinks. The colors. The flavors. Outstanding.

This restaurant is absolutely breathtaking. We had fabulous before dinner cocktails, on their enclosed porch, which was just lovely. We were then led to a beautiful table next to the bar where we could hear the jazz player. The staff was impeccable and so incredibly nice. Our waitress, Kate Was just lovely and a big shout out to the restaurant manager, who was checking on everyone to make sure that everyone had what they needed - he was really incredible. However, the food was just OK. The prices and the food do not match at all, and the quality and portions are laughable. This establishment would be an A+ with a menu change, and a chef that perhaps used higher quality meats and seafood. I haven’t been here for a few years so I was disappointed that the food just was not the same. My last time eating here, our meals were delicious. However I still will go back just for the unbelievable ambience.

Was concerned whether outdoor patio enclosed and heated would be comfortable. It was Terri’s. Excellent service, terrific food and about the best ambience.
