    We reserved a booth for some quietness during dinner and we get seated in front of the kitchen and exit area. Took FOREVER to get drinks or even waited on. My boyfriend ordered the oysters for his entre and got violently sick upon leaving the restaurant. Will not go back and will not recommend the restaurant to anyone!!!

    Food and service was outstanding, we will return, however being on a limited budget, we only go out for special occasions. We were not disappointed in our selection of the Waterfire for my 75th birthday.

    The signature ribeye steak was less than usual. Not nearly as tasty and tougher.
