Great Place, great people

by fishjj at Citysearch

My fiance and I absolutely loved this place. We started out with the calamari appitizer and it was very good. Calamari was cooked perfectley, and the juice was tastey. We usually each get something differant, but when the customer at the next table's lamb was set before him, we both could'nt resist. It paid off, because the taste was something that made me feel I was in my mothers kitchen. I highly reccomend getting it. If you enjoy lamb, the chef will not disappoint you. Finally for dessert, I had the lavander creme brulee and my Fiance had the banana foster. Brulee was really good with just a hint of lavender taste. Sometimes places over due lavender and such, but they balanced it out rather nicely. Banana's Foster is a time old favorite of ours and always will be. There's was great. Also they paired each course of our dinner with a glass of wine which was done rather perfect.

  • Pros: Succulent food
  • Cons: A little obscure in location

Great Food

by MelanieHadden at Citysearch

Don't know what these other people are talking about. Have been there three times and always have a great meal. They have a great wine list. They don't give you huge portions but the food is worth it. Don't listen to someone that goes to McDonalds. That's all i have to say.

  • Pros: Great Food and Wine

Snooty Host/Waiter almost ruined our evening

by wisholek at Citysearch

We made early bird reservations for a romantic dinner for two. At 5pm, the restaurant was empty and we were the first there. After a delay in which the host was tied up talking to a passer by, we were seated. Our waiter informed us/insisted that our reserved table was the only available after we requested a change away from the chilly air of the front door. A few more couples arrived without reservations(we were in earshot of the host) and were seated in better locations in the restaurant. These actions were a sign of disrespect for us as patrons and we decided to leave. Its too bad, I hear the food is great but we'll never know. I'd rather have good food with respect than great food with disrespect.

  • Pros: ???
  • Cons: Elitism Service with no respect for the patron

Great Service and the food is A+

by jellybean1818 at Citysearch

Food was great and the services was even better. The restaurant is away from all the other restaurant on the dock so it is less crowded, but the inside the restaurant there was not an empty seat when I was there. I guess you say it was a great sign of a good restaurant. If you can get the one of the booth dress comfortable and be readhy for your legs might cramp up. But it was fun and different eating on cushions.

  • Pros: Services was great, lots of choices of fo
