Service was awful! The waitress had to ask several times what they ordered. Then everyone got their food, I waited another 15 mins for mine. I waited 30 mins for my drink. After we finished our food, we were not offered boxes. Didn't see the waitress again... We walked up to the bartender for boxes and our checks. He said "read the room, we have a party going on" Excuse me....the party came in 2 hrs after we arrived. We had reservations at 5:45...left at 8:40. Unacceptable! The manager said he would take care of it and that our meals were on him and walked away. We finally got our boxes. The waitress came over showed us our bills, and they were wrong. The whole service was awful! We will not be back...and this was our 1st experience there.

Service was very slow. The waitress messed up several of our meals and then tried to charge us for her mistakes. Food was good when we finally got it. Sadly, this used to be one of our favorite places, but it is not the same since they reopened. Second time with very poor service. We won't go back.

The food was delicious and our server was knowledgeable and very kind. The kids menu had plenty of options to make my picky kids happy as well. I’m so glad I didn’t read the other reviews before stopping in. Our experience was great. We will be back!

Service was ok but not spectacular. The menu is kind of vague about what comes with a meal - we had to ask a lot of questions. We both had the surf and turf. Ordered our filets medium rare and they came medium. Meat was ok but not super flavorful. The crab and shrimp were good. Food temp was warm not hot. Sweet potato fries were just standard - nothing exceptional. The only thing on the table that was amazing were the crispy brussel sprouts. They were delicious! The quality of the food definitely did not match the price. Open table lists this restaurant as under $30. That is not the case! Most meals were considerably more than that! We spent $115 on two meals - no drinks. This was our first visit since they reopened. And it will be our last.

Easter brunch was not great. Only item offered but that wasn’t posted when reservations were made. The server approached us asked if we were staying instead of greeting us. Apparently several other guests left because they didn’t realize the only food item offered was the bottomless brunch. The food wasn’t that good. Barely ate any of it for $49 a person. Their regular menu is good. Stick to that or don’t make this the only option. Definitely disappointed.
