    We ordered fish and chips which was offered as a special. Both means had seriously undercooked fish. We notified our waitress and the food was sent back. Then we weee served overcooked fish. Terrible meal. We were very disappointed.

    One of our favorite restaurants; a go-to to dine at with friends. The food and cocktails, especially the Pear Martinis, were delicious and the service excellent. We were not rushed and enjoyed a nice leisurely lunch.

    The service was not very good. Our reservation was for 7 PM. We arrived on time. We did not leave the restaurant till almost 9:30 PM. We ordered several appetizers. One of them were the meatballs. They came out cold we ordered a side of asparagus and a side of brussels sprouts the brussels sprouts also came out cold but the asparagus needed seasoning also ordered a side of macaroni and cheese and it was very good. We also ordered a side of bread and butter not the best we’ve ever had. The butter is sweet with cinnamon and sugar, so it does not go with the variety of bread they gave us. The only thing It went really well with was the corn bread. We also ordered the appetizer with the Aji tuna and chicken wings and deviled eggs, those were delicious and for our entrées, we ordered the braised pork raviolis. The sauce and vegetables were very tasty, but the pasta was a little undercooked, so it was a little difficult to eat. Also, we ordered the pork beef and lamb Bolognese with the shaved Parm on top and of course that came out cold. I asked for another so that I can have one hot to take home but instead they decided to give me the old cold plate to go so disappointing. Oh the drinks they make are stunning. Tasty and strong would definitely highly recommend their mixed drinks.
