    Chose this restaurant for my birthday weekend In province and it was a mistake u fortunately. Arrived on time and the place was a mad house. So packed and so crowded. This is not the place the for special occasions. Then waited 10 minutes and no service at all. We had to get up and talk to the host. Strike 1. Ordered an cocktail and waited for over half and hour for is. Then saw the menu on table and already decided what to order and was told that was happy hour and we couldn’t order them. So why left on the table?? Then order soup and was totally not impressed d. Lobster bisque taste like cream soup. Then the roasted chicken came and it was so dry and i couldn’t even finish. It was such a llet down for everything. I wish I can leave a zero star. In summary, everything is bad. I had to pick up McDonald after. Boston chicken is better then their dry as bone chicken. Stay away if you wan to do any special occasions. Not the place and they just don’t care! It was so busy that they think they think they are all that.

    We had a show afterwards and it was getting late! Our reservation was for 4:30. We were seated right away but it took a long time for the food! We didn’t leave there until about 6:15. it was a rush to get to the theater!

    Had a wonderful meal at the oyster bar and even though we were the last people there, they didn’t hurry us out the door, and they were more than gracious the whole time
