    I've been here numerous times. Unfortunately, our service was not representative of the brand this time. About 12 mins had passed, then went back to the host to ask who our server may be. We had cocktailas already from the bar but were empty, ready for round 2... no offering for refill, just asked if we wanted water when he finally arrived at the table. We ordered everything at once, 7 small plates to share amongst 3 of us, and 1 person ordered salmon entrée. Salmon entrée arrived 1st, 10 mins later 4 out of 7 apps arrived, 2 were not what we ordered, then we finally got our water, Yay! Still haven't been offered another round of drinks..got offered dessert, and we are still missing 2 apps. We asked to cancel the 2 apps and he acted shocked that we had not received them, so we went somewhere else for cocktails and dessert. Hopefully, this was an isolated issue for whatever reason. Food quality, superb as always!

    This is perhaps the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. It is a high end place but the value for the quality is excellent. The food was outstanding from the warm biscuits to the fabulous lobster dumplings to the Pompano fish to the bread pudding dessert. All four of us raved about our meals. The servers were wonderful. The noise level was pretty high. One server did put the entre and the dessert in front if the wrong person but that's the only possible criticism I can offer. This was an amazing dining experience.
