    Mediocre food, nothing mind blowing. Everything I had was lacking seasoning. Servers seemed in a rush to get us out the door, going as far as asking if we needed more time then coming back a minute later to take my food without asking. Seems to be just another Sysco sourced restaurant with nice presentation.

    Very disappointing. The menu was way too big. No restaurant functions well like this. Both of us had stomach problems after eating the shrimp - very boring,too, to eat only one thing at a time. The payoff was they’re not having decaf coffee. I mean! Also, the 3.5 charge for using a credit card. So many deprivations of one sort or another. I will never go back and will treasure “full service” restaurants.

    The shrimp ceviche was incredible. We were there to celebrate a birthday. When we mentioned that we forgot to bring our bottle of wine, the owner kindly gave us some of her personal wine.

    We had the most exceptional meal at the Choice. The foie gras was expertly prepared and presented. The presentation is a work of art!!!! The scallops were cooked to perfection and served with a very delicate but very savory sauce. YUM. The chicken teriyaki is a fan favorite in our family! The sauce has just the right blend of sweetness and saltiness. Another exceptional dinner by a very exceptional crew. Thank you for always making our dining experience so special!!!
