"My wife and I were really excited to visit this restaurant. I made reservations for her birthday to try it For the 1st time. I showed up a little late, But they still allowed us to get seated quickly, which was nice. It took our waitress a little bit to get to us as they were at capacity, but she was very nice and attentive once she arrived. She took our drink orders and all the drinks were really good. I had a watermelon mojito and my wife had a fruit sangria. Where things started to fall apart was the wait time. It took a long time to get food to us. She even miss-recommended splitting a wedge salad. I asked if it was big enough to share and she said, yes, it was a good size. When it came to us it was probably the smallest salad I have ever eaten. Definitely not big enough to share. It was delicious and had I had a full order, it would have been perfect. We started with the appetizers which my son and I had shrimp cocktail. That was really good except for they hide all the cocktail sauce in lettuce in a cup and it makes it very difficult to dip the shrimp in lettuce mixed with cocktail sauce. The next course we got was was clam chowder for me and my wife ordered French onion soup. My wife's French onion soup was absolutely fantastic. Probably the best I've ever had flavor-wise. The only issue was the temp of the soupbwas not hot enough. As if it had sat a good while before coming out. My clam chowder was one of the worst I've ever had. It was very chocky and full of large lumps of flour. Due to the small salad size and my lack of taste for the soup, I opted to order a steak Burger for the next day or if I was still hungry at the end of our dinner. For her entree my wife ordered a filet mignon with French fries. She felt it was slightly overcooked but I thought it looked about what she ordered. By that point we had shared enough food that we were both fairly full and had just enough room for dessert. For dessert I ordered bread pudding and she had the creme Brule. Both were really good and my son opted to share my bread pudding with me so I had a few bites and shared the creme brule with my wife. Overall it was a good meal and good experience it's not likely we'll go back. Although my wife's soup was phenomenal it came out a little hotter than room temperature and that kind of put her off even though the taste was very flavourful. The service was excellent and the hostess and staff were all very nice, but the prices were prices were 5 star dining prices and I would give this restaurant roughly 3 and a 1/2 stars or maaaaybe 4. If they made small tweaks it would be a solid 4. Maybe we came on amnoff day. Who knows. If we do return it would be for appetizers and for sure the French onion soup and drinks. Side note, when I got home I checked my steak Burger and they got it wrong and gave me a steak and fries instead. Almost forgot my son, he ordered Mac and cheese and it was absolutely phenomenal as well so that was a plus. Sorry for the half eaten food pics. I generally try and remember to take pics but I was distracted by my beautiful wife lol."
