Last night?s entree was below sub par. The day?s catch was trout . When it arrived, it was clear that the trout was dry and overcooked .. Ditto the shrimp ?as the few pieces of shrimp which were part of the entree were tough,tasteless and overcooked . , The pieces were so small that I could not find them . My daughter liked her filet , which arrivedas she chose . Fortunately the tuna tartare appetizer was as tasty as I had remembered from past visits . I did not inform myvery nice waiter of my immediate dissatisfaction with my entree since it ruins the meal for both diners? one eating at one timewhile the dissatisfied one waits for some kind of gustatory replacement. When I called for a reservation the managementinsisted that the choices for a dine inside option were either 5:30 or 8:30?. would not even permit a reservation for 5:45.!Yet when we arrived on time and throughout our meal , there were many empty tables . Perhaps the shrimp were left over from theprevious night .. or (just guessing) my daughter?s filet took longer to cook as my trout languished over a heat lamp. Regardless, I left with disappointment.. and vowed never to return. Such a shame . Regrettably but honestly submitted , Gail Siegel

Since it is so popular one criticism is that we often feel rushed due to the popularity of the restaurant and needing to seat others. Lunch is probably a better option.
