First time here. I ordered the seared oyster and subbed the potatoes for bucatini. I could tell on another visit it would probably be great but I didn't love it tonight. It was undercooked (less than al dente) and no sauce to speak of. I had to ask for butter and lemon to kind of make my own sauce to eat it. I ordered it based on a picture I saw of the same thing and it was flooded with sauce, I'm sure it was amazing that time. It was a good idea, the flavor was there, the sauce wasn't.
My friend ordered the Steak Dianne. It was wonderful, tender, and lots of flavor. She also ordered the tomato bruschetta canapes. The flavor was fantastic, and the presentation was beautiful, the only thing that would have made it better if they had put the toppings in a bowl in the center instead of directly on top of the bread because by the time she got it, it was very soggy.
The service was good, we had a very attentive and nice young man but we paid separately and after we left I realized I was charged and extra $9 for something I didn't order. I got the seared scallops and a water which was $28 plus tax on the menu, and the bill that I paid for was $40 before the tip added.

I really would like to come back they have options and their basil lemon tea is amazing the last 2 times my food was very salty it would be nice for more healthy options. Its really hard to go out and eat these days.

I have given them three chances. This was the last time. My philly came burnt and had mayo on it when the online menu didnt state mayo. I was truly disappointed. Was not a good sandwich at all.
