This is a very popular, and large restaurant. The parking lot was full of cars on a Saturday night. The atmosphere was pleasant; but kind of institutional. There were a variety of diners, young and old, in small and large groups. Our waitress seemed inexperienced when she failed to pour a taste of wine before serving it. The wine list had a good selection. The menu had only one fish (salmon), and two seafood items (crab cake and shrimp). There were two fish dishes, trout and mahi mahi, offered as specials. It seemed a bit pricey ($32 for trout and $28 for mahi mahi).
The restaurant is very quaint and it seats more than it appears. Brunch was delicious and offered so many choices from crab legs to eggs....sounds crazy but there was something for everyone. The wait staff was wonderful. Our glasses were never empty and even my 3 year old nephew who loves milk, never worried about his glass being empty. The experience was very charming and look forward to going back again. The gardens were lovely, we sat outside afterwards to talk. A lovely establishment.
An area classic that takes too much for granted. The food was fine (soup was poor, scallops excellent), and the service was timely, but the noise level was off the charts. If you like the noise in a large cafeteria, this is for you. It's a very popular venue for groups, apparently, so be warned - this is not the place for a quiet, intimate meal, no matter how pretty the decorations.
A couple of people in our party commented that it was the best food they had ever eaten and they wanted the recipe for the peppercorn steak.
While the restaurant didn't seem to exactly have a child-friendly menu, we had a baby in our party (18 mos.) and the waiter offered her some mashed potatoes and as much silverware as she cared to play with!
The meal was a great value, the price included an appetizer course, a salad course, an entree and a dessert.
I don't know exactly how much it cost because it was my birthday dinner, but if I had to guess, it was probably close to $250 including wine and most of the tip.
Very nice restaurant with very good food. However, not much selection for vegetarians. Though once asked, the chef made a nice dish that is not on the menu. The prices are high, but you get appetizer, salad, entree, and dessert all for one price. Makes a nice date place.
The decor is wonderful. They really go all out to make this restaurant a visual treat.
The meal is priced by the entree and the appetizers, salads and dessert choices are included.
The escargot need improving. The main course is their masterpiece. Visually appealing - well presented and very tasty. The only improvement we could suggest is the vegetables with the main course should be more than just a spoonful.
The two things that keep this place from getting a higher (5 Spork) rating are:
The desserts; the Crème Brule and the butterscotch sundae should not be pre-prepared. Both were served cold should have been hot for the CB and warmed up for the BS sauce.
The martinis are $8.25 with Absolut Vodka. Lower prices would encourage more drinks all around.
The wait staff use high tech PDA to send you order from your table to the kitchen, saves time and leaves them free to spend more time waiting on tables. We will definitely return often.
