We had great service and great food! It was also good portion sizes

Everything was great as it always is! The food is unmatched as well as the customer service.

Not sure if the hostess was new, but I feel she could use some training in interpersonal skills.

We had made a reservation and arrived about 10 to 15 minutes early to an empty hostess station. We stood for 10 minutes without being acknowledged and were about to leave when the hostess finally appeared and seated us. Service was fair to poor; we rarely saw our waiter. It was obvious no one had taken the time to educate our waiter on the art of his job. My date’s steak was not cooked correctly and she was never asked if it was. We took 3/4 of her meal home to try to salvage it by slicing it and stir frying with the vegetables from her meal. It did make a good lunch the following day. My meal, pork tenderloin, was quite good, although a bit dry. Overall, the meal and dining experience was no better than dining at Applebee’s or another chain. Certainly, I would not consider it “fine dining”. There was a very noisy party in the adjacent room who made it difficult to enjoy our evening out. It was clearly not worth the $140 we spent. I doubt we will return.

For the first time ever our food was mediocre at best. We had three people ordering different meals and all three meals were just OK. I don’t know if the normal chef wasn’t there or what but it was bad. Our service was terrible. The guy that waited on us had no idea how to serve he was crossing over in front of people while he was serving instead of walking around peoples chairs. We sat waiting for our food for an hour no exaggeration. When we finally asked him it was clear he had not put our order in. The upside our drinks were fantastic. Each drink we ordered was exceptional. I gave the waiter a tip and I shouldn’t have. At any rate it was the first time in five years that I was disappointed with the food.
