We celebrated my birthday here with my elderly mother. We were told to walk to the ADA door outback and ring the doorbell for service help to open the door. We waited more than 15 mins outside that door for someone to come open the door to allow us in after ringing the bell twice. My mother was starting to feel like a burden after waiting so long out in the cold and breezy evening. If it weren't for the table service from Lorenzo the buser and Angel out server and for our delicious meals, we wouldn't we wouldn't be recommending this restaurant.

The space is different in a good way. The service is superb. And yet the food is the real star. Exceptional.

Excellent attention to detail. Did not like that we were not told that there would be a charge for the still water till we saw the charge on the bill. Food was excellent.

We went for our anniversary diner and ordered the tomahawk steak for 2. Inside was really beautiful, the service was great. Each dish was brought out one at a time so the table doesn't get crowded. The clam chowder, steak, asparagus, & potatoes tasted really good. I would definitely go again & recommend others to go!

It was a lovely dinner. We sat in the large round room. It was so noisy, very hard to hear someone across the table. I will definitely come back but I will ask to not be seated in that room. BD

The elegance, charm, and polished service are still there, but for once the steaks outshone the seafood. There was only one variety of oysters, instead of a selection to choose from, and the abalone medallions were rubbery and lacked flavor. Everything else —the sides, salads, desserts — was outstanding.

Came for my anniversary and it was a truly amazing dinner! From the start our server Jennifer was a gem and gave us amazing service throughout the whole night. We had some drinks and a bottle of wine which were great and totally worth it. Abalone bisque was a nice appetizer and it wasn't too filling either. I had the miso glazed butter fish and it was one of if not the best fish entree I've ever had. My boyfriend got the salmon and it was also really good, but I preferred mine :) Great food, experience, and ambience definitely recommend!

The staff were wonderful and nothing short of spectacular but the food was not very good. The appetizers were actually fantastic but the main dishes were god awful. My wife got the calamari steak and it was terrible along with every side dish on the plate being cold and disgusting, I got the steak and it was good but not $85 good it was just a regular steak and my sides were also cold and not edible. I definitely would recommend it for its food but the staff and ambiance were nice

Buyer beware. I would like to say everything was perfect but after getting the bill I was extremely disappointed to see a charge of $120 for one dish of sole. Apparently it was marked as “market” price in the menu which I did not catch. I feel our server should have let us know what the market price was. I thought I had been charged for two dinners. $60 is plenty expensive for one fish dish but $120 is exorbitant. Spoiled it for us won't be back.

Beautiful, although sad that sardines were not available during new years eve dinning time. Delicious food and fantastic service.
