    We had a great meal at the Argyle. Everyone was happy with their entrees and we all got something different from the lobster pasta, to strip steak, to chicken to swordfish. The presentation was impressive too. Service was great and we enjoyed the ambiance. We will definitely be back soon!

    I had a reservation for a standard table and they automatically put us at a high top.I told them I did not request a high top amd showed them my emailed reservation, so they had to move us. Although the server was very friendly she was quite slow and not as attentive as she should have been after I told her we needed to be at the theatre and only had a certain amount of time. The menu was a little bit misleading with regards to the prefix. The food was very good.
