Spend your dollars somewhere else for better food & some appreciation for your patronage. We took our son & daughter-in-law to dinner the Saturday before Christmas, our Christmas gift to them. I made a reservation several weeks ahead of time for table 41 as this is a nice cozy corner table (almost like a booth) we’ve shared with our son & daughter-in-law in the past. Traditions are nice (requested it in the past when I made the reservation). It also worked well for my son who has a significant hearing loss. When the hostess seated us, she brought us to the table next to table 41 & when I told her we were supposed to be seated at table 41, she informed us our table had to be given to a larger party (6 people rather than the 4 of us). After we were seated & settled, I sought out the manager at the hostess station. When I told the hostess I’d like to speak with the manager & she asked why, I explained the issue & the hostess informed me tables can’t be guaranteed. I suggested it would have been nice to have been informed of that at the time of the reservation or with a follow-up phone call. Her demeanor then turned a bit snotty (for lack of a better word). The manager appeared & in a somewhat apologetic tone, I started, “This is simply informational, to be helpful in the future.” I suggested it would be nice to inform patrons ahead of time if the table they reserved is no longer going to be available. Her response was that tables can’t be guaranteed. Again, my response……something guests should be made aware of at the time of reservation if they’ve specified a certain table. Her response…..I should have asked when I made the reservation. My response…it would never occur to me to ask & reiteration of extending the courtesy of informing patrons ahead of time so they’re not blind-sided at the last minute. Back-and-forth. I kept attempting to explain how this would also be helpful TO THEM. She held firm to, “You should have asked.” She then started, “Next time….” I stopped her there & calmly said, “There will be no next time.” As I walked back to our table, she called after me, “And that’s fine.” Alrighty then. The meal. With 2 drinks at the bar while we waited for our son to arrive & a $70 tip, we spent $400+. The food arrived luke warm & was nothing special. No bread was served. No salads included with entrees (my husbands steak with a Clam Cake $56). I asked for a baked or mashed potatoe (I don’t remember which now) instead of fries with my steak & was told substitutions were not allowed (they were the same price on the ala cart menu). The dessert was amazing! Emily provided excellent customer service & I made a point to let her know I did not blame her for the table issue. I knew this wasn’t anything she had control over. The bar tender was great. No complaints. I love the atmosphere. It’s upscale but relaxing & quiet. We arrived expecting to a spend a good deal of money on our meal but I would have expected SO much more, especially with that price tag. Some courtesy & respect from the manager would have gone a long way. I’m a medical professional working with lots of other local medical professionals & I’m making it a point to share this disappointing experience with all of them.

Food was ok. Not worth the hepatitis though Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
The food was excellent, but sitting at the bar just sucked. The fillet was excellent!! The soup and chowder were very bland, but there were lots of lobster. We hit it with salt and pepper, and it was better. The bartender kept serving the drunks at the end of the bar and actually took a picture with them. They continued to cuss and talk nonsense during our entire meal. The only reason we were at the bar was because they said the resteraunt was full - it was maybe only half full, actually. Don't worry - the drunks will be on the road soon. Imagine spending $150 for a meal at the bar and listening to this. Such a shame. Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2
Very tasty food and filling!!! Staff sat us quickly even without a reservation. I would love to come back. My only issue was I requested cash back from the server and it never came back to the table. I don't mind tipping generously but I did say out loud to bring back change so I could determine tip from there. 😅 it was rough on the pockets but ultimately the service was great maybe next time I'll be clearer about wanting my change back.
