Scallops were undercooked, raw. Placed on some mush, tasted like bean purée with onions. Plate was unappetizing. Sliders which were the better quality ordered were cold on a napkin covering a dirty serving plate, I have to say the French fries were delicious. Salads are great. Our server was lovely, no complaints there. They have to do something with the drape which covers entrance. Every time door was opened, the Winter cold air rushed in.

Have dined at this restaurant several times Xmas and now Valentines. Food and drinks always good and consistent. Last evening was a little slow getting the different courses. They got very busy in a short period of time. In all, my date and I had a great evening.
