I brought my family of 10 for my husband’s 49th birthday. This used to be my husband’s favorite restaurant. The service was so poor I am sorry to say we will not be returning. Honestly, I wouldn’t even post this if I just had a couple of mishaps throughout the evening but the entire experience was so bad I have to say something. It took nearly an hour after we ordered our starters to bring them. The oysters were less than par. Our meals came out almost 2 hours later and the only time we saw our server was when he took our order. No one came to check on us. It was miserable.

Amanda, we certainly strive for exceptional service, and your experience seems far from our goals. We appreciate your candid feedback as it helps us improve. To address your concerns thoroughly, please consider reaching out by calling the restaurant directly. Thank you.

Patty was our server and she was so upbeat and attentive….,and the gentleman that was helping her also was awesome! The prime rib was excellent and my son also had the lobster which was cooked to perfection which sometimes in restaurants can be over cooked. The Christmas Carolers were a very special addition to a very festive family dinner. Thank you.
Five CrownsResponded today
Mary, it's wonderful to read your 5-star review! We're thrilled that Patty and the team made your dinner so enjoyable. We're also delighted that you loved the prime rib and lobster. The Christmas Carolers truly add a special touch to the festive atmosphere. Thank you for sharing your experience and we hope to welcome you back soon!
