    I hardly venture out of my area but today I went to see a show and wanted to eat at a place nearby. I found this restaurant on yelp. When I looked at the photos, I knew I wanted to check it out. It was like walking into an enchanted era. It was so beautiful inside and you can’t stop looking around. Although the menu doesn’t have a lot of food but my eggs Benedict was delicious and my friend chicken Caesar Salad was delicious. Parking was a bit hard but I went at 3:00 and found a space. Must go to this restaurant.

    Our waitress, Maria, was the best part about this weekday dinner. Skip the seafood tower, go to Found Oyster instead. The steak was served with a microwaved potatoes with slices in it, no seasoning no butter and dry, and four asparagus prepared incorrectly with the fiberous stalk still present with again no seasoning or salt or butter. One of the things I did like is that it was quiet, but the music they were playing did not fit the ambiance at all. Seems like management may be going down hill or maybe they just don’t put much effort in on weeknights. Maria was phenomenal and gave us the VIP treatment for sure, with honest recommendations and impeccable service.

    The staff was absolutely amazing when we came on Christmas Day. Our party was running past 15 minutes and after arriving they were able to accommodate us after waiting patiently to be squeezed in. I can’t thank the manager and his staff enough for how amazing and their graciousness for allowing us to be able to experience their Christmas menu! Thank you again and happy holidays!
