The menu looked amazing. I had been traveling all day and looked forward to a nice meal before heading to the hotel. My son and I shared baked brie. Delicious. The garden salad was nice, too. I opted for the seafood trio of shrimp, scallops, and fish over angel hair pasta with a vegetable medley. That there were ONLY two small scallops, two small shrimp, and a piece of fish smaller than my index finger (I'm not kidding) is bad enough. But it was completely overcooked. The good news is I don't have to eat there again.
Biggest culinary fail of the year.

We shared the escargot, which was delicious. I had Caesar salad, husband French onion soup...both great. He had salmon, and I enjoyed the blue cheese steak. Both were hot, nicely plated, and flavorful. Service was excellent. Very grateful and gracious staff. We will go again soon.

They were point on for New Year's Eve. Took my family there to celebrate the new year and it was delicious. Delicious. We started with the stuffed mushrooms with crab and had the brie which was delicious delicious. I had the fettuccine and the rest of my family had steak and they loved it. The crème brûlée was wonderful and I ended my evening with a chocolate martini. Love it love it love it be back soon in 2026.

My husband and I have been coming here regularly since we were dating and we absolutely love it. The prices are reasonable, it’s never too loud, food comes out with a reasonable wait time, and we’ve never left feeling like the food was disappointing. The wait staff is also great - I feel so many of the people here are genuine instead of performative in their friendliness. We always ask to be seated in Whitney’s section when we book our table online, but we have been happy with all the wait staff when that request couldn’t be accommodated. We’re sad that we don’t live in town anymore because this is one of our favorite go-to’s.

Our server didn't tell us about the specials. We ordered a Brie appetizer which was tasty. It took a long time to get each course. We waited a while for each to arrive. Every other table in the room was getting their food quicker than us. Every other table was told about the specials. Every other table received rolls with their salad. My husband's stuffed and baked grouper entree was good but my entree was not at all what I was expecting. I ordered chicken piccata. I received a grilled chicken breast. I am 58 years old and every chicken piccata I have ever eaten has been thin a breaded. This was just a regular grilled chicken breast that they did put a lemon caper sauce over. The sauce was good. No service recovery was attempted. One different server in the restaurant was the only one that seemed genuinely interested in our dissatisfaction when we left the restaurant. I didn't bring my leftovers (a lot since I didn't care for it) home but did bring a piece of chicken to my dog waiting in the car. He didn't even want it. We threw it out of the window. Very frustrated to have paid over $100 for horrible service and the pitiful chicken piccata I have ever had.

Once again, my meal was beyond delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was fun. By far one of my most favorite places for an amazing meal.
