"We were there early on a Saturday evening so the restaurant was still filling up. Our waiter was very attentive. My favorite is the chopped salad and the crab cake. My husband enjoyed the pork chop. Portions were large enough to take home a chop and crab cake.
I definitely will go back."

"Overall a nice relaxed evening with good food and drink. One significant glitch however was finding a piece of metal wire in the asparagus soup. Waiter took the soup price off the tab, but there was no apology or concern by the waiter or restaurant. It was handled like it happened every day!"

"Waiter would rather hear himself speak than you at the table. It was like he would plow through your conversation. I went there for a business lunch and we could barley get a word in because the waiter kept interrupting. The food is OK, but the service was so disruptive. A stranger thing was that waiter was also training a new employee."

"A beautiful setting awaits the diner. The locale is elegant and the seating comfortable. The serving staff knowledgeable and professional. The food is good but not great. We were there for lunch and ordered a Wyagu/Kobe Beefburger which should have been melt in your mouth but it was not quite that - being dry. The french fries were soggy and the bun was barely there (sugary and overly doughy). Bottom line the food did not live up to the rest of the offer and management needs to improve to ensure this wonderful place lives on."

"I was very dissappointed with the food quality. I expected much better quality of food preparation. One of our meals was Filet which was prepared perfectly. The other meal was Filet Medalians Oscar (the crab was excellent, medalians just OK). They forgot the Holandaise sauce.
The carrot cake dessert had a burnt taste."

"I had the salad special that contained asparagus, chopped tomatoes, red onions, bacon, and shrimp. It was absolutely delicious. I could have eaten this for dinner along with a roll. I also had the horseradish-crusted halibut, which was sensational. It is very difficult to get halibut in the NJ/Philly area, so I order it whenever I see it on a menu. THis entree does not disappoint."

"Went there with my wife for Valentine's Day. The appearance of the restaurant is attractive with a unique layout and architecture. The steaks, both Filet Mignon and Strip Steak were flavorful. Baked potato not great...kind of hard and crunchy in spots. Mushrooms were outstanding. Bread was excellent. Sodas in 8-oz bottles were kind of skimpy for the price. Service from the waiter was very attentive. Overall, very good."

"Had a 9 PM seating on Valentine's day. We both enjoyed our meals (NY Strip and swordfish steak) but didn't think they were anything extraordinary for the higher-than-average price tag. We also expected a little more of the ambiance. I would go again, just with slightly lower expectations the second time around."
