   We didn’t have the best experience here this time and we haven’t been back in a while because the menu was repetitive and over priced at our last visit. Tonight started with the waitress telling me that they couldn’t make me the drink on their cocktail menu because they didn’t have one of the ingredients. I asked the waitress if I could get it without the missing ingredient and she said no you can’t…what? I don’t get it, but didn’t challenge her because I didn’t have the energy and so I ordered a regular drink. Appetizers came and were almost finished when the drink finally came, dinner arrived and after some time I ordered another drink which took another 20 minutes to land on the table. We paid our bill and then the waitress came and offered us a desert on the house because the drinks were late to the table- we accepted and waited another 20 minutes-still no desert and so we just left. The Oysters were excellent and the fried broccoli yummy, the Salmon was delicious, but small and the Seared Tuna was delicious. Glad to see there was some new and affordable options on the menu this time. The biggest deterrent was the service.

   We were so excited to celebrate my husbands birthday here but were left truly disappointed by the lackluster service. Our server, Annie, seemingly wanted nothing to do with us. We apologized that our dinner companions were late (20 mins) and we ordered drinks and apps while we waited, but she seemed put out by having to attend to us. She was hard to find the rest of the evening which is understandable for a Friday night, but then left us in the care of another server who was even less helpful. The server that took over tried boxing our food before all of us had finished eating and brought us the check without even asking if we wanted dessert (we did). At first, we wrote this off as they were perhaps trying to shut down for the night, however, shortly after we realize the same waitress had provided the table next to us at a dessert menu right after she had unceremoniously given us our bill. The food in ambience was great, however it was disappointing to not be able to sing happy birthday to my husband with dessert after spending a decent amount of money for a nice dinner. We will not be back.

   Quiet Sunday night dinner, food was great, we shared the beet salad and I had the Sunday special, a fried chicken dinner, three fried chicken breast (I ate two and took one home) mac& cheese and broccoli parmesan it was all excellent. My wife had the burger and fries. The homemade chocolate cake was delicious. The entire restaurant is decorated for Christmas and gives you a real holiday feel. Service was great definitely going back soon

   Not my favorite. Noise level was 100/10. We ordered the steak fritters which was good. Mac & cheese for the kids was also good. Salmon wasn’t the best. A little undercooked in our opinion. Caesar salad I also didn’t approved. And the drink I ordered wasn’t great either. Won’t be returning.

   Service was slow, but food, drinks, & ambiance made up for it. I think we just caught them on a challenging night staff wise.

   Raw bar took 20 minutes to serve , service was slow to respond on a quiet rainy night ., entree foods ,i thought were over seasoned and a bit salty . The toast served with the linguine was black .Raw clams and oysters were great . Broccoli app was good to . I think i was expecting more from a respected name , quality was not up to my expectations. Just constructive criticism 😔.

    Fabulous ambiance with all the festive decor! Burrata toast is AMAZING, must order. Arancini was great too! Our meals were both good too. Service was good.
