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.

Food was delightful but often came before wine pairing drinks. Dishes weren’t cleared in a timely manner, but our waitress was very nice. We sat upstairs and the ambiance was nice and not too loud.
