   We both had the “POT ROAST”. It was amazing! Our waitress was cheerful and very attentive to our needs. We will certainly return!

   Excellent food and service. Great ambience. I’ll certainly be coming back. The only issue was our table reservation was 20-25 minutes late. Otherwise it was an amazing dining experience.

   The food was good and presented nicely. It took forever to receive our initial beverage order. There were 8 of us on a Sunday night. Our waitress clearly either had too many tables to tend to or just wasn't having a good day by her mood and interest in tending to us. Once the main course was brought out, there was a lag time from the first person receiving their food to the last person around 7-8 minutes which was not satisfactory. The noise level in the main dining area made it difficult to visit with anyone at the other end of the table. Overall not a great experience.

   Salmon great! Black rice was flavorless. Should offer options for sides. Asparagus was too big and stalky.

   We really enjoyed the menu options. The lobster fritters are fabulous. Did not care for the grilled Caesar, which was a whole romaine head cut in half, grilled until wilted with a faint drizzle of dressing on it. So the outside leaves were wilted and charred in the inside were crisp, it just didn’t make any sense or taste good. Most of all it was a lot of work and I finally got tired of cutting it up and trying to get a good tasting bite in my mouth. The bread service was quite generous, however, the bread and the black garlic hummus had no flavor. The breads need more salt and sugar and plain butter would be fine. My husband had the lobster pasta dish and it was excellent. I had the short rib and it was also excellent. The cocktails were excellent and the wine list was very nice. We had a small lava cake to share, it was fine, but far too sweet. I must mention the really fine tableware. It is such a pleasure to drink wine from a beautiful glass and the cutlery was solid and lovely. This really elevates the dining experience. The decor was not what we expected - we thought it would have more of an elegant ambience, but it felt more like a resort lunch restaurant. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and service and will definitely go back.

   Sea Bass was delicious. Fondue appetizer was good, but sides for the fondue were odd, sliced peppers, carrots and miniature sliced potatoes. View was great overlooking the Wellen park lake. Server was really friendly.
