Let’s start by saying this restaurant is stunning inside. On the other other hand, this was one of the worst experiences i’ve EVER had in a restaurant and I work in the industry. My boyfriend and I decided to make a reservation for valentine’s day, to begin our reservation was at 8pm we arrive at 7:55 went to the host stand to be greeted in an extremely rude and nasty manner. The rude host proceeded to tell us they’re running 30 minutes behind and she’ll call us when our tables ready without any apology or sincerity whatsoever. We weren’t actually sat until 8:45. At that, the food was subpar AT BEST and the only redeeming quality was the nice server who gave us free dessert to accommodate for lack of timeliness and empathy. Don’t let this place fool you.

We reserved a table for 9 for a birthday Sunday brunch. We had a spacious room with a few other larger parties. Walking through the restaurant to the table was a feast for the eyes, the food was everywhere. This is one of the last places that actually does a brunch buffet. From the servers, who were so attentive and sweet, to the incredible food, it was a superb experience. We didn't feel rushed to eat and run, we meandered through the restaurant gawking at the beauty of the place and picked through all of the amazing culinary offerings. Waffles, THE DONUT MACHINE, the desserts, the made to order omelets, salads, pasta, meats, biscuits and gravy, oysters, mussels, etc. There was something for everyone to enjoy. And even with the shear amount of people in the concourse, there was never more than a few people in any line. We will definitely celebrate more special events here!

My wife and I had valentines day dinner here. I first want to say that the restaurant is breathtaking. Very beautiful. However this is where it ended however. The service was extremely slow for us. I saw other waiters and waitresses being extremely attentive whereas our waitress would disappear for long stretches at a time. I understand they are busy on Valentine’s Day so I can look past that. The food was absolutely horrible. The lobster bisque was extremely fishy. My wife got surf and turf. The lobster was so dry and the steak was not flavorful and not seasoned in the least. I got prime rib and crab cake. The prime rib was about the same. Not flavorful at all and the crab cake tasted mostly of filler. Both dishes were ice cold. Avoid this place!! Tourist trap. Go to a local family owned place.

I will start with the positives. Its a beautiful elegant place for dinner and the food is expensive but delicious. The one star rating was for the service. I was at a table of 8 they were all served their meals. Mine didnt come. She said sorry it will be a couple of minutes. 15 min later back again....a couple more minutes. After 40 mins my table was done eating and felt terrible I wasnt served. We were going to the theater so we had to go. Our waitress named Stacy walks up with the plate. I said we are done put it in a to go I wont be able to eat before the show. She said sorry the order was wrong I will take it off your bill. I said great but that doesn't make up for you telling me every 15 minutes its on the way. She said and I quote " I am done talking to you I have nothing to say I already said sorry". I asked for the manager and of course she didnt get one. So rude she spoiled our whole dinner. I never complain check my other reviews this was unacceptable rude service.
