    Main food course came out wrong had to wait for it to be remade while my wife’s came out correct. She got to eat while I waited for it to be remade. Server was a bit off on timing and lack of attention. Still a good meal and nice experience but it was a bit off last night.

    This is about the tenth time we’ve eaten here over the years. It has always been one of our favorites and must stops. This time was different. We were greeted by a hostess that had a plate of food at the hostess station. I have never seen that in my life and do not want to see it at a fine dining restaurant. I remember a time when you were served a small charcuterie board but not anymore. I get it but miss it. The Caesar salad was ok but had a sprinkle of cheese on top. Not near enough to give it the taste. My branzino special was large but was a bit bland. My husband liked his salmon but the piece was really small. Not like he remembered. We were thankful for the bowl of Parmesan left at our table and the mousse dessert was perfect; light and not too sweet. I will go again but it was just a little off this time.
