The server was polite but clearly overwhelmed. They were seriously understaffed, and the customers ended up paying the price for it. All four of our entrees had problems. The two halibut dinners were cold and poorly prepared, and I even questioned whether it was really halibut. The steak was way overcooked and had to be sent back, while the scallop dish was just mediocre. To make matters worse, the place was packed with a large dance band that needed a venue twice the size, leading to constant bumps and interruptions while we were trying to eat. Overall, it was a terrible experience.

It took the waitress an hour to serve us a portion of our drink order, and then another half hour to bring the rest. We finally placed our food order at 9:45, worried that we might end up eating at midnight. Throughout our three-hour ordeal, we made four attempts to talk to a manager or owner, but we never received our appetizers, salad, or entrees, nor did anyone from management check on us. It’s truly disappointing! The only time we received any attention was when we stood up to leave the restaurant. Thank you for making this the worst New Year's Eve celebration ever!

The prices for such a high-end restaurant were reasonable, and the food was absolutely amazing. Everything that was served looked delicious! I ordered the seafood risotto, and it was fantastic. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Exquisite atmosphere, great live music, and top notch service throughout the entire restaurant. The seafood entrees were cooked to perfection, and the sushi was a 10/10..hats off to the chef. I will definitely be coming back with more friends and family to share this awesome dining experience.

Waitress disappeared for super long time periods to find her on the phone in another area of restaurant. Much better service found at Applebees. Asking for desert menu took 15 minutes. We asked another person who simply turned around and grabbed a few. It was NOT busy either. Rather dead in fact. Recap: food good, drinks good, service subpar.
