The food wait was really long and when it arrived it was cold. Our server would pass by occasionally to ask if everything was okay but never offered to refill drinks or bring bread to the table, nothing more than a casual check-in. The portions were small, not cooked to order, and tasted bland. I was quite disappointed considering the price we paid. The table next to us was very loud and not once were they asked to calm down. It ruined the experience for all out celebrating their mothers and wives.

I’ve been here before and love the food but was VERY disappointed with the Mothers Day menu, the food was WAY overpriced for what it was. A salad, entree and dessert for $75 or $83 for the filet is ridiculous. And it was very small portions. I weigh 100lbs and usually never finish a meal at a restaurant, I ate everything and even ordered an additional appetizer. I don’t understand how the meal was a $75 value, a dessert and salad are around $10-$15 each, those entrees were NO WAY worth $45-$55. I feel like this was price gouging for a holiday you know people are going out. This was my first Mother’s Day as a mother, highly disappointing.

Great food and service as usual. This is our 9th visit this restaurant. We normally only go once and look for something different. This place has been the exception.
