in the last weekLast minute destination for my wife, my mother-in-law and myself. Nice atmosphere. Not too formal, but definitely not a "bar & grill" We had several different "side dishes" to go along with our dinners and our server was just the best. Seriously, we haven't had service like this in like, forever. It's refreshing to see such a wonderful staff taking such great care of their guests. Thank you.

in the last weekKinda lousy experience when dining in a large group. Here are some of the lowlights: - Ordered a simple drink...12 year old single-malt with one ice cube. Got a glass full of ice with some scotch poured over it. Asked the waitress to have it corrected and I'm positive that all they did was dump out the ice. Yep, one of the more expensive items on their drink menu and they served it to me watery. Big fail on that one!!! - Crab cakes were made with waaaaay too much mayo. It was almost like they were trying to drown out the taste of the crab. - Had to ask repeatedly to have my water refilled. - Waitress described their bleu cheese dressing as house-made and very chunky. I couldn't find a single chuck even the size of a pea. Disappointing. - Ordered a chicken sandwich per the menu but received a different preparation. Seriously? - Our waitress was juggling our large party plus a few 4-tops and not really getting any help from anyone else. Poor teamwork lead to dirty plates piling up on the table as we moved from drinks to appetizers to entrees to dessert. I observed the manager walking past at one point and stopped him so I could load him up with dirty dishes in hopes he would get the hint. Didn't work. Dessert was probably the high-point of the meal. Not a place I will rush back to any time soon.

in the last weekThe most expensive Chicken Parm in the county at like $30 made by someone who doesnxÌŒt know how to make it. I got what tasted like jarred sauce, an prepared thick chicken breast that hadn't been pounded out (That thin smashed flat piece of chicken is vital for the dish) and literally the thinnist piece of Mozza. Like they put a one slice of cheese on it. My local lil joint up the street $12 for great literally hand-made sauce and real chicken parm.
