    A female manager was incredibly rude to my wife and child for sitting in a place we were directed to sit. We have no problem being accommodating but the way she approached us wad incredibly hostile and critical of my wife, even went as far as to criticize her parenting even though we sat exactly where the restaurant directed. We like the place and the food, but would never go back because of her attitude towards us.

    We apologize that you were incorrectly seated at a table where we do not have space for a stroller or high chair. Management perceived this to be a safety issue. We are disappointed this came across as critical.

    Had a reservation and we were seated immediately upon arriving. We were greeted as we were being seated by our server Susie. She was pleasant and friendly and made us feel that she was happy to be assisting us with any help we might need with cocktails, appetizers, and entrees. Her suggestions were very helpful to us. Service was great and consistent and all of our food was delicious. From the bread service, our clams verde appetizer, to our entrees. The swordfish special was absolutely delicious. The chef personally visited our table to check the satisfaction of our meals. Our overall experience was fantastic!

    I can't decide what I love more the ambience or the food. The clam chowder tastes like you're on the east coast, and the chicken parmesan is out of this world. The service is great and so is the dessert!

    The food here is outstanding. I mean exceptional. I've eaten here many times and not once has anything not been perfect with regards to food. My only complaint is their whiskey prices. No prices on menu and they are obscene. I had a double shot of Penelope ($38) and a double shot of EH Taylor ($50). I own these bottles and Penelope is double the price of EH Taylor. 4 shots for $88 is ridiculous. I've bought 2oz of Pappy for $50. So I was not impressed when the bill came.
