"We went there and celebration of my friend's birthday. Wanted to take her someplace special, to one of the best steakhouses in the area. I ended up selecting THE best steakhouse in the area. Our server was outstanding. Started the evening off with a warm greeting, introducing himself and then offered to give us a brief overview of the menu which we accepted. Afterwards she gave us plenty of time to make our selections and then return and took our order while offering answers any question we had. We started off with a salad and then we both ended up selecting different steaks along with macaroni and cheese and asparagus. The food was absolutely delicious, perfectly prepared. We appreciated his attentiveness throughout the evening in making sure we were taking care of. We ended the night with the complimentary dessert on her behalf of her birthday, which we shared. This was my first time going to John Howie steak but definitely not my last. I would recommend everyone to go here!"

"My wife and I have enjoyed dining at SeaStar over the years. We celebrated her birthday with 3 other couples and overall had a good experience. The atmosphere and service were great. There 's room for improvement on some of the entries and on value. My cedar plank salmon didn 't meet expectations. The salmon portion was tiny for $58. The vegetable side was broccoli and it was hard and didn 't have much flavor. My wife 's scallops were just ok and like the salmon dish seemed overpriced. We dine in many nice restaurants, and not trying to be overly negative, but just commenting based on how the food compares to other higher-end options. A few friends had the sea bass and thought it was delicious. The wine selection was decent, with high prices that most of us expect at restaurants."

"I ordered two tequila cocktails and a spicy pear vodka drink, all of which were delicious and beautifully presented. Our waitress was fantastic, knowing just when to check on us. The food was delicious as well—spicy chicken, nachos, and artichokes were all excellent choices, perfect for sharing with friends over drinks. The atmosphere was great, although it might have been a bit too dark; then again, that could be intentional for the type of bar it is."

"Carmine’s is first class dining all the way. Our server was outstanding…the food was amazing. However…sitting inside is LOUD. And I’d love a hint on how to reserve a good table on a Monday evening — in the notes I wrote this was a BIG birthday for me and the first table we were shown was marginal at best in a walk way…we settled on a table still in a walk way and servers without apology kept bumping into my chair….sigh."

"Let me start by saying the food, presentation and wait service has been good to excellent on our 1st and 2nd visits over the last two weeks. But we definitely need to address a totally unacceptable response to an issue we ran into last night. Just after our 1st visit on 12/30/22 we called to inquire about their Corkage Fee which was stated as $35. We then booked another res for 1/7/23 for us and another couple and bringing a nice 08 Cab to share with our guests. So the bill arrives with the ridiculous Corkage of $45 shown. I nicely asked our waiter to reduce the charge to $35 and advised my wife had specifically called in to check it just 2 weeks before AND at $45 we would have not brought our own wine as $35 was bad enough. So here comes in tandem the Ops Director Ms. Martin and Chef/Owner Mr. Moore to say bluntly its $45 and that 's it. They couldn 't have cared less my wife had called in and Mr. Moore blurted out here 's the deal, we make no money on people bringing their own wine . They stood glaring at us in a demeaning way like how dare you to have questioned our policies? We paid our bill and left. So here are my closing comments on BIS On Main. We have spent over $640 on our two visits in recent weeks. You could have easily said okay, we will adjust this time but please be aware of the increase in the future and all would have been fine. Secondly, Mr. Moore should reconsider his very inappropriate comment about not making any money . Are you serious! So as they say, It will be a cold day in hell........"
