"Came for restaurant week and left highly disappointed. First, when we arrived, no one was at the hostess stand to acknowledge us. We stood there for several minutes trying to figure out if we should seat ourselves, or if we were even in the right are. A waitress finally noticed us and came over to say someone would be right over. Next, I got the “betta bruschetta” as my appetizer with restaurant week. There was hardly any cheese on the bread and the appetizer itself was lackluster. Soggy bread with a pea-sized amount of cheese and tomatoes. Very disappointing. For our main course we ordered the salmon and the sirloin. Asked for the sirloin to be cooked medium, it came out still mooing. Asked for the salmon to be cooked medium rare and was informed “we don’t take special order does our salmon.” The salmon came out over cooked, dry, flavorless, and impossible to eat. I literally had to take my entire salmon home after one bite because it was THAT bad. We also took the steak home because it was inedible. It took an hour for our entrees to come out and we were not waiting around for a re-fire. Most of our experience at this restaurant was spent listening to the waitresses and the hostess argue about where to sit people and who to not seat because they didn’t have reservations. These conversations were held on the dining floor in front of everyone. Lastly, the restaurant itself is situated inside a hotel. Which we didn’t think anything of until we watched multiple hotel guests walk through the restaurant to access the hotel. Guests who were dirty and stared at you while you were dining. It felt extremely awkward and gross. There should be something to block hotel guests from using the restaurant as a cut-through. We will never be back. We wasted $75 and 2 hours of our time and still left hungry."

"Great thing the service was amazing because the food left much to be desired, unfortunately. We just moved to the area and couldn’t wait to find what we were hoping would be our new seafood go-to. Everything we ordered was pretty much a let down. I debated between a 3 and 4 overall rating, because the food was a solid 2. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t really that good. Calamari was decent, but we weren’t big fans of any of the 3 dipping sauces. The Caesar salad we started with was bland. Watery dressing and mostly iceberg lettuce. The lobster Mac and cheese was ok, but the cheese sauce left a strange aftertaste we couldn’t quite put our finger on. Finally, what we thought would be the star—Parmesan crusted sole—was hardly edible. It was almost burnt and I couldn’t taste any fish. Perhaps a thin cut like this isn’t best with the batter. The sauce served with it was tasty, so it’s too bad the fish didn’t work. Mashed potatoes were pretty good, but the broccoli had zero seasoning. The atmosphere here is awesome, we loved the vibes, especially the bar area. Our server, (Austin I think.. , was amazing. Extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and a hustler. He seemed to genuinely enjoy his job. Oh and my margarita was strong—totally worth the $5! (On special Good news is that they have a huge menu, so we will undoubtedly be back to try other things, and hopefully change update our review with another star!"
