   Lovely atmosphere, clever food, good flavors, great Happy Hour deals. Unfortunately the service team was overwhelmed and we sat unattended without being greeted for literally 18 min. Even going to the host stand was fruitless as no one was there. I drove 26 min and hired a babysitter for my date night with my wife and was not met by the same level of dedication and interest as I invested in them. It comes down to service training and the charming "kids" are not up to the task of matching the level of sophistication and reputation Hot Tuna has earned. Never saw a manager who was watching the ship in distress. Spent nearly $100 plus my $65 for the baby sitter and the near hour round trip. Unfortunately the state of fine/upscale casual dining is in crisis mode all throughout our region.

   First time dining here. Though we were seated far from the bar, it was quite loud. Food was good, but overpriced for the serving size. Service was good.

   My wife and I took our son and his wife to Hot Tuna for Valentine's Day dinner. It was great. The ceiling was full of heart-shaped red balloons and from 6-8, Frank Sings Frank (Sinatra) preformed, walking through the restaurant, while singing, and sometimes asking ladies if they wanted to dance. Hot Tuna never disappoints and went out of their way to make it a special evening for everyone. At the end of our meal, my wife and daughter-in-law each received a long-stemmed red rose.

   A regular for us. The quality of the food is always top shelf and can’t say enough about the staff. They always step things up for special occasions. Valentines was no exception. They decorated with hundreds of heart shaped balloons (on the ceiling ) and the wife was given a rose by the hostess. We both got the filet special. Was perfect.
