    We experienced top-notch service from the time we entered the door through our table service and leaving for the evening. Food was excellent and came quickly. The noise level was appropriate and appreciatively quiet. Lovely experience.

    Wonderful and caring team of servers was the highlight. Chris, Rebecca and Landon were genuine, very attentive and all very helpful. Special shout out to Landon who was younger than 21 but extremely mature and a good listener! The cheese selection plate was special and Chris really helped with our selection of cheeses.

    The restaurant had a very nice ambience. The bartenders were great and made very good cocktails. We got to our seat and the waiter was great as well. We had ordered a clam fries which were good, lobster and clam bisque which was a little too sweet and then scallops and a wagyu ribeye for dinner. The scallops were good but too salty. The steak was cooked to a good temperature however came to the table lukewarm at best and was pretty tough. Overall drinks and service were great- food just OK.

    The food was great, a bit pricey in my opinion, but very tasty. The service was outstanding. Our server Jeannie was the best. All the other staff that cleared dishes or brought water were also very well trained. Everyone had a smile on their face. The best compliment I can give is we had fun.

    This was our 2nd time there for dinner, and while the food is great, and the new aesthetic of the spaces and decorating are top-notch, the service still struggles. The "server team of 3" were all very nice, especially our primary server, Chloe, but they couldn't overcome what I suspect were productivity problems with the bar for drinks and the kitchen for food. It was busy on a Thursday night but not slammed. There was also plenty of room at the bar when we arrived at 6:45. While we enjoy a relaxing evening out, it gets frustrating to have to wait over 10 minutes at the table to get our drink order in and another 10-15 before getting the drinks. Even the bread took a while to appear, and the service, while friendly, was just plain slow at every juncture. It's one thing to relax and chat with a drink, or appetizer to enjoy, but another to sit for 25 minutes with no drink or any food to sample. Once we ordered dessert, that even took over 15 minutes to come (for a slice of chocolate cake...). We are glad this stalwart restaurant has a "new life", and the area needed a top-notch option. All-in all, and for the price, we will be going elsewhere for top-level food, ambiance and service until they can streamline the service better.

    We were seated in a great corner booth and staff were very attentive. Caesar salad, lobster, cauliflower Au gratin, sweet potato and chocolate cake were all perfect and delicious.
