    My husband and I just wanted something light, so we went to the bar. He had rum and coke and onion soup; I had a glass of wine and shrimp cocktail. The prices were great for the quality of the food. The onion soup was delicious and the shrimp cocktail was fresh, not frozen. Excellent. The woman bartender was friendly as well. Definitely an older crowd (like us!), and the venue is dated. But, we'll be back for sure.

    Ate here last night and it was terrible. Ordered a $15 martini and it was not even fill to the brim. My husband and I shared Oysters Rockefeller, they were loaded with so much cheese you couldn’t even find the oyster. I had the Shrimp Mediterranean in a marinara sauce which was definitely from a can! The shrimp was tough and the sauce was horrible. My husband had the prime rib which he said was ok. It was pricey and not worth the money we spent. We will not be back.

    Beautiful restaurant with great food, but service was very slow.
    Arrived on Christmas Eve for dinner and was seated promptly after a small mix up, comical and funny.
    Was approached within minutes of being seated by a waitress who took our drink order, followed by another waitress just a few minutes later who again wanted to take our drink order. Drinks arrived promptly, but this is where promptly ended. It took about 45 minutes before our appetizers arrived and then another 35 minutes for our dinners. Now this is a special occasion and we are not rushed, but if they would only made eye contact or mention the kitchen was backed up, it would of been appreciated. Now to the food, absolutely top notch. Baked st■ Shrimp, Veal Cordon Bleau and Rack of Lamb, all rated a perfect 10.
    No room for desserts as we have plenty waiting for us at home. This place was decorated beautifully and this review only suffers from a waitress who may of been just a little overwhelmed with all of her tables, so this is in no way anything negative by the evening experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a special evening out. My only recommendation would be to upgrade the menus, as they were worn papers that didn't go with the beautiful atmosphere, but again only a suggestion.

    Brought my boyfriend here tonight to celebrate his birthday. He loves histrionic homes.
    The atmosphere was wonder. The food not so much. We got raw oysters that had sand and shells still in them they were not perched to get out the sand and shells. Then got the prime rib with potatoes and green beans. The potatoes where instant potatoes and the green beans were frozen green beans. The prime rib wasn’t fresh it tasted like it had been cooked the day before and refrigerated or frozen then unthawed. The grape nut custard was very watery which it is not supposed to be like. It was a frozen custard unthawed. For what I paid for this dinner ( over 200.00$). I would have thought the food would have been soooo much better. The pictures may look like the food was good but honestly it wasn’t. Don’t think we’ll be going back.

    I will at some point hopefully get to visit your establishment to eat but I want to compliment the kindness on one of your staff who I encountered in your parking lot yesterday. I was trying to find a particular address and he very kindly used Google and pointed me in the correct direction. He also wished me a good day. If this is any indication of your actual service, I will definitely be checking out your establishment soon! Thank you to this kind soul! I wish I caught his name! If it helps for you to know who he was and thank him for me it was around 11AM yesterday. Again, thank you!
