This was one of the best meals we have had- top to bottom. From the hostess’ attentiveness the moment we arrived to the welcoming hospitality of the bar while we waited for our table. Our server Debbie was patient with my indecisiveness, made us feel unrushed and had excellent recommendations.

I took my daughter here for her 19th Birthday dinner. We arrived a little early before the busy time. The hostess was helping someone on the phone for quite sometime and never even looked up to suggest she puke be with us soon so we waited. The server was great, she provided excellent service... exceptional actually. She brought dessert with a candle for my daughter with some complimentary cake pops ! A nice touch and our meals were terrific !!

Only two. ... food was excellent like always but hostesses and I am guessing a manager don’t have a common sense ... 11:58 pm just before the New Years started taking down decorations, counting money, cleaning, folding napkins... people still eating ... the restaurant is not closed yet ... I felt that I HAVE to leave. It was very very rude!!! Not coming back even for a brunch. The restaurant cares about $$$ not ethics or people.

Mediocre service and food. The lobster Mac and cheese was essentially a tomato pasta dish with no essence of the lobster. The price did not reflect the quality of the product therefore did not get any value for it. The service was something you’d get from a diner.
