"Ate here on Friday night. Can't say enlighten about it. Was a little hesitant because my mom & I were bringing my 2 kids, but they were so accommodating & actually have a good kids menu ( so many places put such little effort into kids menus). The charcuterie plate was a starter, great cheeses & charcuterie plus little extra touches like Mostarda sauce, & some fruit to accompany. Great wine list! Someone actually looks like they put effort into selecting good wines from a variety of regions. Had the salmon with sautéed spinach & cocunut rice, simple elegance. And to finish, their homemade macarons are perfection ! You gotta go!!"

"The QW is a very small place but the service and food are outstanding. The late night weekend bar scene is well known as a lively and fun place to meet with a great live band and fun dancing. The only down side is the popularity far outweighs the space available and it can get crowded."

"We had a 10:00 pm dinner reservartion (after ducks game) We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table but the manager totally took care of us while we were waiting . Dinner and service where wonderful. We went into the bar area after dinner for a drink, music was great and it was very crowded. If you want to get great service ask Teri the waitress to help you, she is amazing, just tip her well she is worth it!"

Very professional and friendly.

Always a great vibe and great service."

"Had not been here in a while as last time was not very good. But decided to give it another try and was very pleased. Service was a bit slow but we had a great meal. Wish they would improve their wine selection and pricing, tho."

"This was my first time to the Quiet Woman. A friend had heard about this restaurant for years and decided it would be fun to try a new spot to celebrate a friend's birthday. There were 4 of us. I had scallops which were well-prepared, but the side veggies were awful- over-seasoned and combined with tortilla strips. The couscous was also just ok- it was combined with mango which made it too sweet. The lemon cheesecake was very good. My dining partners had the t-bone and the halibut, which they said was good.
The biggest problem with the Quiet Woman is that it isn't quiet. We were shouting at each other over the incredible din in the restaurant. One of the noisiest restaurants I've been to. I seriously doubt if I will return for that reason"
