We celebrated my husband's 92nd birthday and it was a great way to celebrate, surrounded by family and assisted by a great waitress. I can't say enough good things about her.

Our Thanksgiving experience was great. We are very impressed with the quality of the meal and selection. Everything is wonderful. We were a little surprised with the extra $60 service charge on top of our bill. No one had shared that fee but overall we are grateful for Thanksgiving.

My food was wonderful, I had mussels as an appetizer. They were in a curry sauce which was different but gave them a nice bit of spice. I has swordfish for my main course and it was juicy and tender. The only negative of the whole experience was that my wife had the pork chop , which our waiter said was her favorite, and it was overcooked and dry. We had a dessert each and the restaurant comped my wife’s dessert. Would still go back there though, that wasn’t enough of an issue to never return.

Service was as slow as could possibly be and still be open. Food was quite overpriced and lunch portions were tiny. It was so loud when we sat down that any conversation at our table was impossible. Several items on menu were not actually available and they were resistant to offering mocktail menu at dinner.

We had a group of ladies and tried several dishes. Crab cakes were ok, the bao buns were tasty with a tangy sauce. The beets were delicious and sadly, the best dish we had. The lobster pasta was fine, there was a decent amount of meat. 2 of us had the halibut and were very excited because it’s a favorite fish. Unfortunately, it was sent back twice for being so overcooked to be inedible. They hard sear and then oven finish the meat, but both times the chef couldn’t get the timing right, nor did anyone bother to check before sending the dish back out. It was literally hard all the way through and when I cut into the 3rd fish, I gave up. Overall, the whole experience was disappointing, especially when this is listed as a highly rated restaurant. The manager took the fish off the bill and sent some desserts - the cheesecake mousse was very tasty; we appreciated the gesture. The staff was nice and hopefully this was just a really off night, but the place feels like it’s stuck in the 90’s.
