My wife and I went on New Year's Eve. The restaurant had advertised a 6 course prix fixe menu and we were excited to try it out. I called in advance and asked how long I should allow for dinner and was told that the plates were flying out and to expect 1-1.5 hours. I wasn?t optimistic that it would take an hour, but I assumed 2 hours was reasonable. We were greeted nicely and seated very promptly, however, after 20 minutes of not seeing our server I had to go to the host stand and ask to have our server sent to the table. The server came to our table, briefly apologized and we ordered the 6 course prix fixe menu with 4 glasses of wine to be paired with our food. It took an additional 45 minutes for the first course to arrive. The first course was a lobster bisque soup. So by this time we had been at the restaurant 1 hour 15 minutes. After about another 30 minutes our second course arrived. Then another 30 minutes passed and our 3rd course was served. At this point I went back to the host stand and explained we had been there for over 2.5 hours and were only half way through dinner. We had other plans for the New Year festivities and really needed to go. Their response was that they would send our server over to the table. Our server did come over and I explained the situation once again. He said he would see what he could do. He came back after speaking with the manager and said our next course was ready to serve and in the interest of time we could leave after that course and he would comp our drinks. We agreed and left after the next course. Setting aside the slow service I would also say the food was not that great. It was all served warm to almost cool. Most of it tasted the same because lobster bisque, a lobster/crabmeat crepe and lobster tail with crabmeat were 3 of the 6 courses.
Pros: Ambience
Cons: Slow service, below average food and priced too high
