"This was my first time visiting, so I need to give this another visit. We were sat in a small side room, at a folding card table. The room was comfortable, but halfway through our meal, one waitress went to the thermostat and CRANKED the heat at the request of one guest seated right inside the door. Other people were sitting comfortably, some even in short sleeves. It was certainly not chilly. But it quickly become unbearably warm. The crab cake appetizer was decent. I've had better quality crab, but this certainly wasn't bad. The scallop appetizer was severely undercooked. I am well aware that scallops should be rare/raw in the center. This was pretty much raw throughout to the point that it stretched in "strings" as I tried to cut it. My wife ordered a pork chop with an apple compote topping. I thought it was delicious, but the apple compote was ICE cold (not even room temp). Very strange on top of a perfectly cooked pork chop. I ordered a steak with potatoes and cipollini onions. I ordered it mainly because I LOVE cipollinis and don't see them often on a menu. I got a perfectly cooked steak with cocktail onions and baby potatoes. Neither my wife nor I received anything but a butter knife to cut the pork chop and the steak. (The steak was pre-sliced, but the slices were rather large Cutting meat with a butter knife on a folding card table made a mess of the drinks. The apple crisp was unique. I loved the spices, but my wife wasn't crazy about it. Either way, it was well made. The creme brûlée was tasty, but one side had a VERY thick layer of caramelized sugar that I couldn't crack with the spoon. The other side had no sugar at all. Lastly, the service was excellent. The waitress was perfect in every way. Attentive, asked before removing anything from the table, really timed her "visits" perfectly. I couldn't ask for anything better in service. All in all, I need to go back. Maybe the kitchen was off their game the night I went"

"We had a reservation for 6:30PM and when we arrived we were directed to a table by one of the wait staff. Shortly after ordering our drinks, a grouchy staff member (we later found out was the manager) came over to our table and told us the table was reserved. We told him we were the reservation and then he proceeded to question us about what time our reservation was for, our names, etc. It was a very bizarre exchange and made us feel uncomfortable, like we had done something wrong. As we ordered our food, a couple came in and sat right next to us with their 2 large dogs. I am severely allergic to dogs, so my husband asked if our party could be moved. Our server said that they would move the dogs. When our food finally arrived the dogs were still there so my husband asked again if something could be done. The server then brought the manager over and he said they were service dogs so they wouldn’t move them. They let everyone who wanted to pet them, play with the dogs so I find it difficult to believe they were service dogs, but that aside, even the wait staff were touching them, which could contaminate food. We were eventually moved (we had to carry our food through the restaurant with a 6 month old baby, so it it’s not exactly a quick/easy task). My suggestion would be that if you are going to allow everyone who says they have a service dog into your restaurant, perhaps have a designated area or seat them outside on the patio, not directly outside the kitchen doors. It is unhygienic to have dog hair flying in your food and drinks, the potential of fleas, and some of us have allergies. It was very clear to me that the dogs were more important than my health."

"To preface this visit, it was Saturday night and it was pretty busy (seemed to also be some kind of event on one end of the place). After reserving a spot, we were seated within a few minutes right by their water mill and we noticed right away that the decor was very warm and inviting. Typically when you sit down, water is brought to you as a baseline. We didn't receive water at all, but it wasn't a huge deal. Our waiter was an older gentleman, who seemed nice and knowledgeable of the menu. Took about 20 or so minutes to get our drink orders in, and by that time we were pretty hungry and got our dinner order in. Understandably that took another 30 minutes, as we ordered the lobster and salmon. Our sodas were a little on the flat side of things, but it wasn't bad. We got the food and visibly they looked great. My salmon came with a goat-cheese risotto and I swapped the other side for mashed potatoes. The salmon was really good, nice subtle seasoning and texture was great. The mashed potatoes however were a bit too salty, and the choice of goat-cheese for the risotto was interesting but not in a way that would keep me eating it. My GF's lobster needed more seasoning/salt for sure, it wasn't bad though overall. Her mashed was also salty, and her veggies were pretty sad and flavorless. We also received bread just after we got our food, which was a bit odd since that typically comes out first. The bread might've been the best thing we had that night. We wished our waiter was a bit more attentive since he didn't check on us once during the entire evening and we had to call him over each time. Overall the food was decent at best, possibly a bit pricey for the lack of balanced flavorings but I digress. Would give it another shot though in the future."
