Slower service during this visit compared to the last. Thursday evenings are using busy times.

Waitress's & staff are great, always have fun with the waitress's.

Service was excellent. Favorite courses are the cheese fondue and dessert!

All around a great place for a casual dinner.

The crab stuffed lobster was amazing. I always enjoy the macaroni and cheese.

Lobster tail not completely cooked, breading on oysters has a strange herb in it giving them a strange flavor

It took almost an hour before we were served our appetizer and the restaurant was only half full. The waitress was wonderful,but the kitchen not so much... I ordered the 16 oz grilled ribeye and when it finally arrived I could tell it wasn't cooked on the grill. It had been cooked on a flat top. The steak itself was overly fatty. I trimmed almost a third of the steak away in fat. This was the first and last time I will order this steak from the menu.... Read more Read less

I understand it was a busy night, but she would forget everything. It took almost 30 minutes and 3 times asking for my friend to get his martini in the beginning. Then she would forget everyone else's beverages throughout the night where we would have to constantly ask for them. We asked for the bill to be separated at the beginning and she brought it over not separated. Everytime we had to ask for something we had to wait 5-10 minutes to see her again. We've always had stellar service, even on busy nights, so this was just frustrating. She reminded us several (I counted 3 times) that this was not her primary job. She's an ER nurse. Yeah we get it, but it doesn't excuse the poor service. Read more Read less

That was way too much for me and my guests. Cheese course, salad and dessert were good. Main meal was just OK. We didn't eat all the food, but couldn't have brought it home if we wanted due to the nature of the cooking it ourselves. Also, we were concerned about not cooking our food long enough. Didn't like that requirement. I'm glad I tried it. We had some laughs. But for what I paid, it def wasn't worth it - even with the coupon. I won't be returning. Read more Read less

very expensive and I'm not sure if it's worth it in my opinion. I am not sure if I would return.

Excellent but pricey. However, there is a lot of work that goes into the presentation. The dessert was fab!

There were some improvements that could be made on the vegetarian entree that we ordered. The tofu should not have sauce on it if its going to be dipped fondue, the sauce just ends up coming off and adding an odd flavor to the fondue. Because it was a peanut sauce it was even worse because it didn't match the flavor of the mojo fondue. A plain tofu or one flavored with simple herbs would be better. Another problem was that the asparagus had obviously not been stored properly with its ends in water, it was all dried up and shriveled. We mentioned it to our server who did not offer to replace it.
