"First of all, I have to say that the food was very good. We order the Watermelon Mule and they were delicious. We ordered the Brussel Sprouts as an appetizer and they were very good. They were flash fried, so they had a delightful crunch combined with the very tasty bacon dressing. My husband ordered the fish and chips and he raved about it. The fish was perfectly done. Very crisp, (but not greasy) and very flavorful and flaky on the inside. I order the grilled Mahi Mahi tacos, and they were also very good. The issue we had was with the service and the timing of the food delivered to the table. Our drinks arrived quickly after we placed our order. Before we had a chance to sip them leisurely, our Brussel Sprouts appeitizer arrived. That would be OK, if not for the fact that our entrees arrived no more than 5 minutes after our appetizer arrived. So we ended up having all these plates and drinks jammed on our table. When I mentioned to the server that I would have preferred that the delivery of the entrees be spaced out a bit, his response was Our kitchen is very efficient . I thought that was a completely clueless response. In addition, the woman hostess who seated us acted as if she wanted to be anywhere but in that restaurant. She never smiled and barley spoke a word. When we left, she never looked up from her little podium and never said a word to us. The bottom line is that the food here is really good, but the inept service really soured the dining experience."

"For a restaurant that promotes itself as a high-end “fine dining” establishment, my experience was quite average. Our server was all over the place, appearing stressed and overwhelmed throughout the meal, which created a less than relaxing atmosphere. I actually found myself resorting to playing music on my phone just to lift my spirits. The goat cheese dish was passable but could definitely benefit from a balsamic drizzle, olive oil, or something a little more adventurous to enhance the flavor. I ordered the blackberry salmon served with couscous. While the salmon was cooked to perfection and the blackberry sauce was delightful, it sat atop bland, dry couscous that tasted like something out of a dollar store box. Unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy the salmon without being inconvenienced by the tasteless couscous. I recommend trying to incorporate some of the goat cheese and cream into the couscous to see how it could elevate the dish significantly. I also ordered a side of mixed vegetables, which were equally disappointing. They were bland, poorly seasoned, and seemed like they had been prepared hours earlier, lacking any freshness or roasted flavor. Overall, I was not impressed. I'm not sure if this was just an off night for the restaurant, as they proudly displayed numerous awards on the walls and had generally favorable reviews. Nonetheless, my experience fell short of expectations, especially considering the high price point. Additionally, I was surprised to find that the bathrooms had no hot water."
