Everything was really great! My steak came out a little overcooked, but Lauren, our waitress, was so kind and offered to either have a new one made or take it off the bill. Since we were short on time, I just asked for it to be taken off the bill. Jay, the kitchen manager, even came over personally—he was super apologetic and made a fresh steak to go.

I love when something might not go perfectly, but the way it’s handled makes all the difference. And this couldn’t have been handled any better. The quality, the service, and especially the attitude of Lauren and Jay were outstanding. Thank you both for the amazing customer service. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town!

I really love the food here.
The cleanliness of this restaurant is sub par the bread dishes and silverware left something to be desired. The waitress was friendly but not very observant . Definitely lacking in experience. I dont mind spending the money to eat but i tip by serving accordingly usuallyabove 29%. 18% was the minimum tip on the check. I customize down to 8% if that gives you an indication of the lack of service....

We arrived early and we were just wanting to spend some family time together. The waitress didn’t seem to really want to be at work. We ordered coconut shrimp…they brought us some tiny shrimp with hardly any breading, forgot our sauce, and forgot my wife’s spoon for our soup.

When I asked about the size of the shrimp, the sauce, and my wife’s spoon…the waitress returned saying that the manager said that is the way they’ve always been. Still no spoon?! Clueless!

Now, if you’re like me you are generally good hearted and can put up with a lot of disappointments with restaurants these days. That being said, “Who wants to pay a premium for large coconut shrimp only to get tiny shrimp, no sauce, no utensils, and an argumentative waitress that seems clueless about service?! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO TO TEXAS ROAD HOUSE INSTEAD. You’ll get twice as much, excellent service, and feel good about leaving a tip.

My husband, some friends, and I went here to eat. I had the lobster and my husband got a ribeye. My entree was good, but I didn’t like the “mac and cheese”. It tastes like pasta salad and is spicy, which was really disappointing. The ribeye was overcooked, but okay. Service was decent.
