I want to love this place, but I can't. I have been here many times, but my recent experience was my last.... sadly. It is too expensive to roll the dice on the food and the service -- highly inconsistent.
The Positives:
It is in a great setting. In the winter the dining room is cozy and comfortable. In the summer, the outdoor patio is lovely. The menu is standard fare with a lot of inviting choices.
Needs Improvement:
The service is often lacking. I went with some friends last week and the place was empty. (We had even considered going somewhere else when we saw there was no one in the parking lot.) We were one of three parties in the entire restaurant and the service was poor... at best. Very inattentive. On top of that, my husband's fish came out ice cold. Now, I don't know how busy the kitchen could have been! We waited a considerable period of time and they finally did bring out a new piece with only the most perfunctory apology.
This experience was not the first. Matter of fact, I called once to complain and got a lukewarm response. I can only assume the management is not on top of their game, as it seems like no one in the restaurant is ever in charge.
There is an odd musty smell when you enter the lobby of the restaurant....extremely off putting.
To be fair, I have been here when food and service were fine. Unfortunately, you never know and either way, you are going to spend quite a bit of money. Not worth taking a chance.
P.S. Did I mentioned the fly that was buzzing around our heads the entire meal :( Ewww......
