    I was greeted by the hostess and was quickly seated. My waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to give me advice on ordering from the menu on things I was unfamiliar with. We also had complimentary champagne. The atmosphere was also very elegant. I would definitely recommend for any special occasions.

    Had an amazing time celebrating an early Valentine’s Day (and first Valentine’s Day married) at Shoemakers. The drinks were tasty and presented nicely. The butter was really good! We had such amazing service, such a sweet server! For food we decided to sample 4 appetizers and they were all amazing. The stuffed shrimp and the baby back ribs were my favorites. What we ordered: Drinks: Good things come in pears, Isabella of Castile Food: We decided to sample a few appetizers Sticky Baby Back Ribs Country Eggrolls Pork Belly Stuffed Jumbo Shrimp Crème brûlée cheesecake for dessert

    We’ve been coming to Shoemakers 3 to 4 times a year for more than 10 years. This is the first time we could remember being significantly disappointed. The steaks were small and tough. Hopefully just a temporary problem.

    Drinks were very long in coming. Starters never came to table. Food not served all at once. No refills on drinks or quality checks. Food ok but not worth the price. Will not return
