"Okay, here you go. Got seated at 7:30 right on time of reservation. Ordered a glass of wine and an espresso. Took 30 minutes to get these. We ordered our meal at the same time we ordered wine. Caesar Salad, Lobster Bisque Soup, and the Grouper. My wife ordered a pasta dish. After 45 minutes our entrees came out, appetizers never made it. We asked the person that brought out food (not our server) about the appetizers. He said he didn’t know about them, so we asked for manager to stop by table. She came by and said that she would take care of it. She took the entrees back and said they would make fresh ones while we had our appetizers. The salad was brought out to the table promptly. After 20 minutes neither our waiter ever showed back up with soup, entrees or to check on us. In the defense of the waiter, he said he had only been there a week, possibly in over his head to be waiting on multiple tables. Manager just flat out failed! Never came back till we asked for her again. She said that they were just waiting for us to finish salad before they brought soup, but they never came by to see if we’d finished or they would’ve known we’d been finished for 10 minutes. We decided to leave because we’d already been there for so long and it clearly wasn’t getting any better. Unfortunately the manager was defensive about the fact that no one had checked on our meal for the second time and even though she took care of the salad we did pay for our drinks and she was saying she was sorry but you could tell in her tone that she was angry and didn’t care that the service was bad. Definitely won’t go back, at least until the management is different."

They need to give better training to their staff. The are not friendly to customers and also the service is slow.

Good food, portions on small side, 2x wait staff is good enough but not much personality, like, don’t want to be there.

May I say the atmosphere at night looks amazing! Food was astoundingly delicious, I got Meatballs to start things off which were amazing and then got a Margherita pizza which was even better. View menu

Great food. Beat lobster bisque I have had in a long time. Asked for a patio table and got forgotten about. Had to go up front to ask for a waiter after about 15 minutes. After that it was a great experience.
Tiffany
Service was very slow took forever to get a cocktail and appetizer. Don’t order the Calamari it’s a disappointment. Mussels were good but the risotto lacked flavor. Steak was good. I wouldn’t go back on my own merits. Plenty of other choices with attentive service. The waiter didn’t even offer dessert he just brought the bill.
