"There was another couple seated near us, which I'll explain later. Our cocktails from the happy hour menu were quite good, and my son enjoyed his Shirley Temple. We ordered two sliders and some fries for him, which were also from the happy hour menu. However, my son wasn't provided with any crayons or activities that restaurants typically offer to children. Interestingly, when another group with two kids arrived later, they were given various toys and games to keep the kids occupied. While my toddler had his iPad, that hasn't stopped other restaurants from offering similar items to our child.
I had initially wanted to order the lobster as my main dish, but when I asked Andrew about its size, he informed me that it was only available as a small appetizer. So, my husband ordered that for me along with an entree. Later, we overheard another waitress telling the family with kids that the chef was offering the lobster roll as a main dish with more lobster for just a small upcharge. We found it odd that we were never told about that option, especially since we had inquired.
The lobster roll itself was delightful, but I regret not being informed of that choice; I wouldn’t have ordered the steak entree, which was unfortunately not very appetizing. I ordered it medium rare, but it arrived more like medium well. My son’s sliders were okay, and his fries were good. My husband ordered the Chauncey chicken with risotto since our son loves risotto, and he found it to be just okay as well.
Overall, the service was lackluster, the food was mediocre, and we felt somewhat snubbed. I overheard the man at the table next to us say that his octopus lacked flavor and that his steak had not been prepared to his liking, which mirrored our own experience. We spent nearly $200 on our meal and didn't feel like we were treated well. I would give this place a 2/5 and cannot recommend it."
