We came here with a reservation for a birthday celebration. Our previous visits in past years were nice, but our visit in July 2024 was extremely disappointing. While the atmosphere was nice with the piano player, the restaurant is showing its age. Most importantly the food was overpriced, poor quality even left a couple in our party ill, and small portioned. The blacked halibut was not blackened and had no shrimp as menu promised, with only 3 small pieces of asparagus. The shrimp scampi were not jumbo and therefore we paid almost $30 for 5 shrimp. The kid’s macaroni and cheese was the same dish as the adult dinner serving of Mac and cheese au gratin which meant spicy and not eaten by the ki...
I got the steak and lobster, ordered steak medium rare and it came out medium well. The menu says your choice of potatoes and I was told that 's wrong, it comes with au graten. That was not even what they were. They were red potatoes with cheese in top. My wifes chicken was overcooked and the garlic mashed potatoes were sweet potatoes. We dislike sweet potatoes. Our server had such a thick French accent we couldn 't understand him. I was really disappointed as I heard nothing but good things. We would go back and try something different but it might be a long time. Too expensive to have subpar food.
One of the best restaurants around town, every time we've eaten there, great service, no hidden fees or extra fees at all. Food is great, service is very good, drinks are made well and they know how to do it right. Cannon recommend this place enough, better then pretty much any other restaurant in the city and surrounding area. Not your general bar junk food, good variety and relaxing place to eat.
The food is decent. The atmosphere is outdated and dark. Food is extremely overpriced. Over half the menu is Market price and outrageous. Service is mediocre. Tonight we had party of ten, my dish came almost 20 minutes after the rest of the dishes. Pretty sure they forgot my order. No apology, no adjustments on the bill, just poor service. Would not recommend our go back. Book a table now
We ordered the Salmon Piccata, Mediterranean Pizza and side salads. The angel hair pasta Salmon were overcooked, there were no capers in the sauce and you could barely taste the lemon. The pizza was good but nothing to write home about. Very pricey for the quality of the meal. The service was decent.
Food was absolutely incredible, service was very quick and very friendly. The baklava was to die for! 10/10 would recommend to everyone I know! Everything was worth the price!
Best Mediterranean food I have ever had. Great music, food, service, and drinks.
Great food, wonderful service, will definitely be coming back soon. Book a table now
Attend a Continuing Education class there, the food was excellent.
