My family and I went to this place for our first time and I honestly have to say it was five stars all around. Our server Ken.L was literally one of the best waiters that I’ve ever had. He was on point with everything very professional and everything amazing that you would ever expect in a waiter. I have to start off by saying the food was absolutely delicious and everything arrived right on time. The food came out fast, fresh and hot. The ambience was beautiful. They had a great selection of beverages ranging from beers to amazing wines, iced teas, sodas, etc.. I can’t even explain how delicious their food was, I was honestly very very impressed. It’s been a while since I went to a restaurant that was all around five stars. In every way shape and form. The bathrooms were so clean. The whole restaurant was so clean everyone was absolutely very polite we got seated quickly. There was a lot of parking spaces. The prices were kind of high, but you definitely get what you pay for. I would 100% go back to this place and I will absolutely be going back to this place. This is now one of my favorite spots to eat my family and I truly enjoyed it and had a great time.

Previous experience in 2015, very positive. Good food and fantastic service. Updated 28 November 2024. Tonight, very different experience. Hosts, very rough. Chit chatted leisurely amongst themselves while guests were standing next to them waiting to be seated. No sense of purpose whatsoever. Servers do not coordinate amongst themselves. They didn't know someone else had taken our order. At one point, two of the same items came from two different servers. Wrong items were also delivered at another point. No silverware was placed, had to ask for them. Soup was cold. Shrimp cocktail was not fresh. Tasted like they have been sitting out for the entire day. Seven shrimps for USD$ 24.00 ... terrible quality for the price. Server started out strong. Went downhill quickly. Matt was pleasant enough at the beginning, smiled and helpful. Midway through the meal, someone must have stolen his cat or girlfriend and he became crabby and appeared pissed at us. Almost threw down a bowl of soup at our table. Towards the end, he started smiling again and appeared ok when we left. I hope he is ok. Empty glasses went unfilled a few times and dirty dishes were left at our table until the end. The food was actually very good, kudos to the chef. Branzino and turkey dinner were super. However, the apple cranberry cobbler was highly mediocre and forgettable. At these prices, this was a horrible experience buoyant slightly by the quality cuisine, but the service made this restaurant feel like an amateur gong show which has taken their guests for granted. Not coming back.

Grabbed dinner at the bar…ordered the rigatoni which was quite good along with the caramelized cheesecake for dessert. Food was very good, service attention could have been improved. Complimentary valet was nice for this price point.

Matt at the bar is fabulous. Great guy with a lot of experience to make something that fits your flavor profile. Spinach artichoke dip and fig and prosciutto flatbread are great appetizers. Relaxed atmosphere and great food. Worth the trip!!!

I’ll start with The Good. The drinks were good in the Bartenders Were pleasant. But that’s really where the good stops. When I walked in, there was A shorter older white gentleman Who it seemed just kept staring at People randomly From behind the host station. I’m not sure what he was there for he seemed more like a bodyguard than A restaurant employee. Once we got to the table We were greeted But that’s pretty much where the service stopped. We weren’t really Taken care of much there Our orders were taken But between them being taken And coming Nobody came to the table to check on us, so let us know anything Additionally Once the food did come It was dropped off and Then it didn’t seem we were any type of priority. It didn’t really seem like Anyone knew what was going on? I don’t know if the Manager was sick that night or something But many tables were unhappy. It came to a point where We got up to go to the bar For our drinks This is where we discovered the bartenders were at least nice Or most of them. There was one lady who wasn’t really doing much She really just kept staring at the bartender with the bun And it really reminded me of the guy at the host Station It just felt very uncomfortable. The food itself was all right My mom’s steak was overcooked Besides that it was pretty average.

Went for drinks and appetizers. Be sure to try the Truffle mac and cheese and Philly Cheesesteak eggrolls (photo taken after consuming half). That tasty!
