    As someone who works in the industry, I don’t usually write reviews for restaurants. However, this has to be the worst “fine dining” experience I’ve ever had. Me and my finance had a 6:30 reservation on Valentine’s Day. Now before we even got in the restaurant, their parking lot is an absolute disaster. Cars are parked staggered and parked in the middle of the road which made navigating extremely difficult and dangerous. The line of reservations was out if the door so they clearly overbooked. We waited 20 minutes for our table to be cleared. At this point we have been seated and have been waiting about 20 minutes and we get our waiter. He asks what we’d like to drink and we inform him we have no drink menu. It takes him 15 minutes to get us one and another 30 minutes to come back and take our order. 10 minutes go by and we get our drinks. I had ordered an old fashioned which came with no orange twist or cherry, my fiance had ordered the “smoke on the water”. Her drink was terrible. We waited 20 minutes before i eventually waved our waiter down to hopefully place a food order and to take her drink back. We very politely told him she didn’t like and and that she’d like something else but that we would still pay for it. To which he replied “no no you drink I don’t want to waste it” and put it back down on the table. He then left to go get her other drink. I have NEVER had a waiter refuse to take back a drink, that to me was absolutely ridiculous. Another 20 minutes go by he comes back with her drink and I tell him to take the other one back again, and that we would like to order some food. We quickly takes our appetizer order and then takes both menus out of our hands and walks away so we are not able to order entrees. At this point we didn’t argue because we just wanted some food and then to leave. 1 hour goes by and we have yet to receive any food or other drinks. I try to wave some one down however 2 waiters and both managers are too busy taking photos and videos

    Quiet weekday evening and the restaurant was quite empty. We found the menu to be diverse and appealing to a vareity of tastes. Interesting cocktail menu. Starters were generous and tasty. Mains were well composed and worth the cost. Everyone in our party of four took home about half the servings. Service was friendly, but a little uneven.

    It’s very hard to have a conversation. No matter what room you’re in it’s LOUD! Our Steaks were perfect! My husband ordered broccoli and they gave him spinach but he ate a little . I ordered risotto and it was more like a clump of rice stuck together. It was okay!

    The food was excellent, the octopus starter was a real star, and their Red Fox Martini is simple but delicious. Our server was friendly and charming. We will definitely be back.

    Very nice night out on a cold January evening. Food was very good. We loved the octopus appetizer. Delicious entrée specials, Red Snapper and the Dover Sole.

    Consistently good. Our only complaint is the desserts are just okay. The four people in our group generally don’t eat dessert unless we go out and we look forward to having something to end our meal. Service and dinner was awesome.

    This was our second visit, I think we are all set to say we won’t come here again. Overpriced for food that isn’t too special. Salmon was 1000% over salted and over cooked - dry! This place needs to be updated, cleaned, etc. WHYYY were we seated at an “outdoor” table while inside? Very unstable for plates, not comfy and far from classy! Silverware is cheap stuff you would buy for a college dorm. Your bathroom had cobwebs and all the half walls have INCHES of dust on it - gross. Didn’t have my phone with me or I would have posted some pics! Parking lot was an ice skating rink, law suit waiting to happen. Put some salt down !
