"Was terribly disappointed in the prime rib. Cooked previously and then placed in the microwave to heat through and with that look of a microed piece of meat. Either do the full rib and slow cook and serve, even at higher price, or just serve the delmontico as the same meat and cooking process. Just should not advertise the prime rib as a specialty -- it is not.
The service was very good, beer was terrific."

"This place has it all. from the moment you walk in you are treated in a special manner. The service is attentive to all your needs. Questions are responded to politely. The food is prepared to your exact specifications. The bar takes pains to make your drinks as you like them. The wine lise has a good selections of both red and white and is favorably priced as well. The atmosphere helps you relax in your surroundings which adds to the experience. I recommend dining outside."

"This is a restaurant that we save for "special" celebrations, since it is a little pricey. But the service is perfect, the food is always perfect (the lobster bisque is my personal favorite) and the ambiance is very relaxing. Having indoor or outdoor dining is a plus also and both are lovely. We were disappointed that they didn't have the advertised mother's day buffet. And the waitress named three things that they were already out of (we were there for lunch at 1:00)."

"Not a bad place but overpriced for the service and the overall ambience. Seemed very sterile. We sat on a very sunny side and there was no relief for those sitting in the sun. You would think that for the price you pay that they'd at least put up sun shades. It was OK but I wouldn't go back."

"I have always enjoyed the dinners at this restaurant. Great service and food quality.
Mom's Sunday Dinner on Easter was not a pleasant experience.
Service was slow and food portions were not adequate for a table of 9 requiring multiple refills.
Food had no flavor and may have been preprocessed and warmed.
Chicken was overcooked and dry. Desserts were dry as well.
I wonder if a different chef prepared this meal compared to the dinner crew."

"Nice little place for an evening out with no great expectations. However, for the price, I would expect a little more. Cocktails were average (I had an "Old Fashioned" that I would characterize as more burbon and water than bitters and muddled fruit). The fish meals were well prepared, but nothing spectacular. The steak was served grilled without anything to accompany it, although it begged for something to go with it other than A1. Sauce was not routinely put on the meat and unless ordered are not served. Sauce was not offered in the order. All in all servicable but could be better."

"I had high hopes for this restaurant, being told it was the best in town. Our server was really nice, but seemingly slow. Our appetizer, Asian lettuce cups, came out before our drinks even hit the table. Afterwards, my husband and I had "the sophomore", ceasar salad, which was fine, but at best average. For dinner, I ordered the 7 oz filet prepared MR, and he, the 10 oz filet prepared M. Both steaks were cooked up a temp, but still edible. Our sides were the sauteed mushrooms and potato wedges. The mushrooms were saturated in butter and garlic, but at least they gave the steak some flavor. The potato wedges were hot, but the outsides were chewy, almost like they were microwaved. Overall-not impressed at all."

"This was the first night of the new Sunday Dinner family style dinner menu. The food was plentiful and the server was gracious. The greens on the dinner salad were less than fresh, having obviously been plated earlier in the afternoon. The macaroni and cheese was as delicious, as were all the sides. The fried chicken was a bit dry and over done, perhaps being kept warm for longer than optimal. I think if I try the Sunday Dinner special again, I might choose to have it for lunch as opposed to supper. Perhaps the freshness will be more evident at that time."

"The food here is delicious, but quite costly. A steak dinner, which includes only a salad or other side item, will run you from $25 - $30. An additional side is $5!
We dined there on Valentine's Day, which is traditionally busy, but our reservation was very early, as soon as the restaurant opened at 5pm so we could avoid the crowds. Still, the service seemed quite rushed even at that early hour and the area we sat in was open and not at all intimate for a romantic dinner.
An appetizer, two dinners, and a dessert cost us $80, which I suppose isn't terrible for such a special occasion. Plus, we received a $5 gift card for our next visit!
Overall, an average dining experience that met most of my expectations, but nothing extraordi"

"Excellent food. We visit this establishment regularly and on special occasions. Went there for Valentines day. My flowers were on table upon our arrival as requested. Our main course dinner came out before our appetizers which was a goof on their part so they boxed it up for us and did not charge us. Overall I would give this place 5 stars for excellent service, accommodating and superior food selections and preparations. We will continue to go there often. JOB Well done."

"We have a reservation for 7:45. When we arrived, we were told that they were triple booked. The party sitting at our reserved table lingered over 4 hours - very inconsiderate. We waited at the bar. Only one bartender that could not serve all the guests. After an hour of waiting, we left and went somewhere else."
