Just okay! Service was extremely slow — drinks were never really offered?? Waited so long for the bill at the end of the meal and ended up having to ask for it.

Not the experience we were hoping for. The food was mediocre, and the service was friendly but not attentive. We had to ask for dessert plates and silverware, for example.

Our food was barely warm and bland. No chocolate option for dessert on Valentine’s Day?? Dessert was bland pound cake swimming on a syrupy sweet sauce. The food quality was lower than we’ve experienced in the past and not worth the price. We have been here 15 times at least and have noticed a trend downward over the last year. The server was rushed and did not engage with us. This had been one of our favorite restaurants for awhile but not sure we will return.

Honestly, I was very disappointed with the Valentine's Day dinner. The consistency of the crabcake was off. It was a little soft but not a bad flavor. The Lobster bisque was fantastic! Then we arrived at the main course. I chose the beef tenderloin, which is served on top of steamed fingerling potatoes and asparagus and covered with a small amount of chimichurri. The so-called “beef tenderloin” was very tough and chewy. Furthermore, it had no flavor or additional spices. The dessert option was a small piece of strawberry tres leches. It was perfect, and it was my favorite part of the meal.

Hello John! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that parts of your meal didn't meet your expectations, especially on such a special occasion. We appreciate your kind words about the lobster bisque and dessert, and we’ll certainly take your comments about the crabcake and tenderloin into consideration. If you'd like to discuss your experience further, please feel free to reach out. We hope to see you again soon! Cheers!
