Went in on a Thursday night with a group of about 20 people for our holiday work dinner. The restaurant itself is very unique. I love that it's a very small building at glance but when you first walk through the door you go down a wide rustic wooden staircase and the restaurant is located completely underground. Unforuntiley there is no elevator so keep that in mind. It's a medium size restaurant with 2 small rooms and a large bar. You can hang out in the bar area while waiting to be seated.
The servers were good! We had 2-3 servers for our large party and additional food/drink runners periodically. Everyone was super friendly and knowledgable of the menu and any questions we had. We were seated at 2 large tables and one of the tables got their food and finished eating before the other table got their food which was a bummer. We had ordered at the same time too. I know it was a large party but that should have never happened. Luckily with the appetizers, bread, and salad we were patient enough to wait for the meal without starving. Not sure if there was a mix up in the kitchen but the servers never addressed that.
There is a ton of menu options for everyone to enjoy. So even if you don't like seafood there was many other great options such as steak and teriyaki chicken. It is a bit pricey but i feel it's fair to the service, portion, and quality food you are served.
*** All lobster and crab options are cracked and cut open table-side which is awesome. So don't fear the pain of cracking those crab legs because they do all the work for you!! ***
Each entree is served with bread rolls to start, salad, veggies, and baked potato or daily starch. They had some interesting salad dressings to choose from. I went with the tarragon dressing. Honestly, I hated it but it was because it tasted like mayo to me. But that could be totally a personal preference so I just set it aside because I knew I had plenty of other food coming!
Food I got:
- Appetizer shrimp cocktail was delicious. Served with 5 huge jumbo shrimp and a flavorful spicy cocktail sauce.
- Surf and turf with 1.5lb lobster and 7oz filet mignon. It was all incredible. They serve the lobster with a lemon butter that was delicious and the steak was cooked perfectly. Had a great char flavor.
Overall I was satisfied aside from the huge delay in food being sent out. I may come back and sit in the bar for happy hour food so that might be a good way to go for a cheaper route.
