    It was very, very busy and wait time for food was long. Usually it’s much faster service. The staff did their best though!

    A little disappointed unfortunately. Unlike last year we were seated on time but the wait staff was overwhelmed but she was delightful and did her very best. Dinner was fine. The lobster was not sweet, a little mushy with too much mayonnaise. The scallops with couscous was very good. The Chianti wine had been opened at least a couple of days but my Chardonnay was delicious. I guess my final word is inconsistent but open on Christmas Eve.

    Always greatly enjoy Tuscan Sea Grille. Married 51 years and first Christmas Eve alone. So had a delightful early Christmas dinner at a favorite restaurant. Thanks to Dwayne for excellent service. Happy Holidays

    All of the entries was some of the finest I've ever had. Sea scallops were excellent, hamburger looked beautiful. Eight ounce filet mignon was excellent the appetizes: spare ribs, and buffalo mozzarella w prosciutto were also superb. Spaghetti bolognese was devoured. My halibut with lobster ravioli was very very good. There was actually a decent amount of lobster in the ravioli. Overall excellent and great service. 1 beer and soft drinks. All $304 w$60 tip came out to $60 each. Great food decent value. Can't go wrong. at Tuscan Grill

    Love the ambience of this place, and the service was great, but this is the third time we’ve been disappointed by the food. We ordered sushi, and the rice was poorly prepared – both mushy and crunchy at the same time. All of our sushi rolls were falling apart and we ended up needing to use forks to eat them. The drinks were the highlight.

    The restaurant is beautiful! Especially right now st Christmas time. They had a stunning chandelier style Christmas decoration hanging from the ceiling on the waterfront area. I usually have a salad c with grilled chicken when we go out bc we go out every week. They don’t really have a good selection of salads. I had a Caesar. My husband’s stuffed shrimp were very good. It’s a bit expensive. But overall really nice place to eat.

    Excellent food, great service. High quality seafood. Been here many times and it’s very nice. My only complaint is the acoustics—insanely loud. Find a way to dial it down and it will be even better.

    Good Afternoon Suzanne, Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We appreciate you feedback. We have such a big open space, it is hard to control the noise. We will certainly make note and turn down the volume. Best, Lori Parolisi General Manager
