    We were not impressed at all. We arrived at the restaurant at 7:00 on a Friday night and other than a group at the bar, the place was empty and freezing cold. We all sat at the table with our coats on. We ordered appetizers: flat bread, crab dip and shisheido peppers. They were good but nothing special at all. The drinks were all good. The meals were mixed. The salad was delicious but they were out of shrimp and had to have chicken on the salad instead. The French dip was very tasty although not consistent in size. One person had it and the sandwich was stacked with meat, the other person had it and it was a small amount of meat. The fries were really good. The beef stew came out cold. Once rewarmed, it was tasty but heavy on the salt. Very little meat and mostly diced up veggies. The lobster pot pie was a complete disappointment. The description should have indicated it was deconstructed and not hearty at all. One was returned due to the excessive amount of salt. Definitely not worth the money at all. They were out of the apple cobbler. Keep in mind, it's a Friday night and other than one large table that was seated way after us. No excuse. The waitress was very nice but a horrible waitress. We were literally her only table. She would disappear for lengths of time. Was unsure of the answers to many questions about which foods were gluten free. All in all it was not the experience we were hoping for and won't be back

    Food good. Service is terrible. Always has been and I keep going back hoping it gets better. No luck again. Also, the prime rib beef sandwich for $37 is way over priced.

    I hate when they bring salad and entree at the same time. Sent the salad back. Otherwise the food was good. Pretty empty for a Saturday night.

    What a great space ever since the renovation. They are struggling with turnover and therefore the servers are a little inexperienced and lacking the timing and attention that would justify the prices on their menu. I hope they are able to dig in and upgrade their staff and training because this could be a restaurant built to stand the test of current times.

    Item on the menu that I wanted to order was unavailable. Should have been notified of this beforehand. Waiter courteous, helpful. Food good. Didn't serve spoons with coffee.

    I always love the food here. Salads are delicious. However, this time the service was not good. We were playing mahjong. The waiter never brought menus. After asking for menus, he didn’t come to take our order. He was very busy serving people outside and apparently forgot about us.
