                                        The restaurants staff, ambiance, and service was great. The problem I had with the restaurant the chef was not good and I was highly disappointed in the food. Breakdown. The airline chicken was not brined and was dry with zero seasoning. It was honestly the worst chicken I ever tasted. The appetizer Lamb Chops were burnt and inedible. Plus The lobster egg rolls are a must to order Service, ambiance, staff were great and I want to give credit to them but the chef should consider going back to culinary skills, he missed the mark.

                                        Food and service were fantastic. Always a great place to eat prior to an easy walk to take in a show at Tanger Center.

                                        We were disappointed tonight because our food was served room temperature. I had the salmon and my husband had a steak. It tasted like it had been sitting around in the kitchen for 30 minutes. This is rare for this restaurant which we hold in such high esteem.
