   My wife's swordfish was fantastic as well as the oysters however my swordfish was not verry good at all. I got the special for the night with demi, broccoli and some ancient grain. The demi it's self was half decent however the mushrooms in it were terrible with a slug like texture and the broccolini was so.burned it tasted like a house fire, it made everything on the plate taste the same ( like house fire). I DID eat the swordfish but dipped it in my wife sauce, the mushrooms and the broccolini I had to spit out with the mushrooms actually gagging me. The ancient grains wernt for me at all, no flavor other than charcoal briquettes and a texture like half cooked erasers. Definitely not worth the hour drive and $200 bill for me other than for the oysters. The staff were very busy but 100% top notch!

   This was our second year in a row celebrating our joint birthdays here. We were delighted to see that Tim, our server from last year, was also our server this time. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, made recommendations for us that were much appreciated and very much to our liking. The grilled asparagus, which he insisted on without allowing us to debate if steamed might be better, did not disappoint! We ordered two entrees to share, and the kitchen staff graciously plated each half-entree onto one dinner plate each so we didn't have to deal with the mess of carving out portions and transferring them. And they preservved the artful dsiplay of each half-portion. The miso cod was buttery in texture, and salty=sweet in flavor. And the tapenade was a colorful and savory complement to the lightly breaded sole. Coconut jasmine rice was another perfect accompaniment because it was light and slightly sweet. Tim is personable and checked on us as needed yet unobtrusively. Although we were quite full and delighted by the meal, Tim insisted we take dessert home. We haven't yet sampled it but have a good hunch that it would have been the perfect conclusion to a delicious meal. So it will be all that and more to a home-made dinner that doesn't quite measure up to Off the Hook. So we are making plans to return much and hope to be seated in Tim's section again.

   Red fish portion was small. Waiter was knowledgeable and fun but could have been more attentive. Overall food was good, but did not match the pricepoint.

   Table was ready at the time of our reservation. Waitress was friendly and very attentive. Food was tasty and beautifully presented. We were celebrating an anniversary and received a special dessert. An overall very enjoyable experience.

   We had a very enjoyable birthday lunch. The portions sizes were very large for lunch at a great price. The food was delicious. We had the jumbo shrimp cocktail that included 5 very large shrimp and they were very good. We both had Swordfish prepared two different ways. The Parmesan crusted Swordfish was the tastiest that I have ever eaten. Desserts were wonderful, the service was excellent and the ambience was wonderful.

   Food great, service perfect (Hope), only thing a little off was that it was very loud at lunch in the dinning room. People were actually standing up and yelling to other party members. It was difficult to carry on a conversation across the table without adding to the cacophony.
