Almost had to go to the hospital on Valentine’s Day. I started off the evening by telling our server I had a severe allergy to nuts and seafood. Although the food was great it nearly sent me to the hospital as it had whole cashews in it. And rather than going to the movies I prepaid for, I took 3 Benadryl and sat in my car near a hospital with my EpiPen in case I went into anaphylactic shock. Luckily I noticed early on that I was feeling odd and my girlfriend found the cashews mixed in with the veggies.

We ate dinner with our friends here on 2/13/2025. The server offered the Valentine’s Day special menu. It was $180 per couple. The choice of meat I wanted came with mushroom risotto. The choice of meat my husband chose came with mashed potatoes. I asked if they could switch the mushroom risotto for mashed potatoes. The answer was emphatically no. I had to pay for mashed potatoes if I wanted them. For $180 I think that is very unacceptable. Then the server asked how I wanted my steak cooked. I told him medium well. He whipped out a glaring and strong flashlight pointing the light at the menu waving it around the menu asking me to carefully read about the cooking of their steaks. This was totally uncalled for and was very embarrassing!! I like my steaks medium well. I don’t care if the chef or anyone else doesn’t like them cooked that way. The manager asked how our dinner was and we explained our disappointment in not being able to switch the risotto for mashed potatoes. He did nothing about it. We didn’t even get to the flashlight story before he walked away. We will not return and will share with friends in our downtown condo community and on social media about our experience.

The food was just okay. The sea bass had little to no flavor.
