"My husband and I went here for a date night after reading the reviews. When we got to the restaurant we were quickly shown to our table. To our surprise the restaurant was empty with the exception of us, this started things off on a weird note. At first our waiter seemed attentive but that was short lived. He took our orders, delivered our food and that was the last we saw of anyone for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile we hear carrying on in the kitchen, we have run out of our drinks and I had to get the water pitcher myself to refill our glasses. When the waiter finally returned I told him that I had to get the water myself because they had disappeared and he was completely oblivious. Our experience was very disappointing and won't return"

"Had a good sized party and had a great time. The environment and service was very good but food wasn't close to meeting expectations. It was tasteless and some things (such as blackened rockfish) was really overcooked. Could not recommend to any going beyond a drink at the bar."

"the service was beyond acceptable. Slow does not even begin to describe it. The icing on the cake was after ordering desert and waiting 30 min. for it, he brought the check stating "I know you have been waiting patiently for this." Bottom line, we never got the desert."

"Alizee is suffering from weak management, it appears. Disorganized and inept service, wines not available, noisy rearranging of tables in the middle of the evening - embarrassingly unprofessional. The food, however, is excellent, despite the human resource problems."

"The food was good but not great. The food selection was much more limited than I would like to see. Service was outstanding. But I do find the mandatory 20% tip they added to the bill for a buffet brunch to be a bit much."

"Our Italian wine-tasting group had a delightful meal and we were very pleased that they let us bring in all of our old Italian wines with no corkage fees. Our waitress was very attentive, as we're the other service staff. The restaurant wasn't terribly busy, so we got all the attention."

"The food was simply ok. I had the surf and turf Valentine's day special. My steak was not not cooked as ordered and the lobster was dry. I do believe however, that the regular menu items had the potential to be very good. I observed a table order from the regular menu and the food looked good and fresh! Perhaps the V-day menu was in the kitchen being mass-produced and neglected."

"A very nice dining room and bar with rich reds, browns, and good lighting. The banquette was very comfortable. Our waiter was attentive and professional and made us feel welcome. I ordered the Chicken Chesapeake: chicken breast topped with lump crabmeat and asparagus with imperial sauce. Bad choice. Chicken was marinated in overpowering herbs that didn't play well with the crab. Imperial sauce was salty and pungent. It was accompanied by green beans almondine which were hard and dark olive in color with a couple of raw almond slices thrown in. Fingerling potatoes were cooked perfectly, but had some black spots on them (the kind you throw away when you peel potatoes). The presentation was very impressive, though. Appetizers were good, basic."
