Additional Information
Great atmosphere, foods, and service. All of my family members were impressed.
Reservations recommended. We had lamb chops, filet mignon and crab cake. The crab cake was delicious!
My husband and I went for Father's Day. The staff was great, the atmosphere nice. The food was good, I had the lamb chops which... were delicious, the vegetables were good but the portions were very small. My husband had the pork chops. They had a good tastebut was just a little too tough for him. He also said that the vegetables were good but portions were small. We thought thatthey were going to bring bread to the table. We waited awhile and decided to ask the waitress and she said that the bread wasand extra charge. We ordered the bread but felt like the bread should have been complimentary. Read more
Dec 2021: I'd go back, but I was a bit disappointed with some of the food for the price we were paying. We had a group of ten... and appreciated the first private room inside to the right. We had one of each appetizer. The shrimp scampi smelled a littlequestionable, but the others were loved. My gumbo (pic) was blah. Flavors all blended, so it all tasted about the same, tho Idid appreciate the chopped green onions on top. But that's saying something isn't it? That the most memorable part of the flavorwas the green onions. My vegetarian wife's baked ziti (pic) was also a bit bland. She didn't even take the leftovershome. Everyone roundly loved the desserts. I have a pic of the Key Lime Pie and the Chocolate Mousse Tiramisu. There were twostrange interactions with the maître d'. First, after making the reservation weeks earlier, he called my wife back and said shewas supposed to get back to him. She believed the reservation was set, yet he curtly informed her that "she forgot." Well evenif a misunderstanding occurred, that is just RUDE. He also said "the dinner hour in Howard County is 6pm." And I've heard thisof him from a friend in the past. Wow, nobody wants to hear pretentious BS like that. Second, when desserts were wrapping upsomeone remotely upped the music to an extreme volume. It was so loud I had to quickly find the smart speaker myself and turn itdown. When I asked the maitre d' about this annoyance, he lied to me and said the device cannot be controlled remotely. Umm,it's a smart speaker. That's how they work. I'm taking a star off simply due to these strange interactions with the maitre d'. Read more

Not sure I will be back. Was there a few months ago and services was mediocre at best. We've had this same server before and... she was way more fixated on one particular table than the others. I ordered the lobster pasta and waitress immediately replied"well, there are only four left" I said "well now there should be three". Was she waiting for royalty to arrive so they couldorder? Why say that to anyone? Shouldn't all guest be treated the same? Be careful before you end up with serious issues onyour hands...people know when they are being treated like they don't belong. No goodbye, have a nice day...nothing... Read more
