The chairs were not comfortable. The heavy iron frame was hard to move on the carpeted floor. Several pieces of bread were very hard. My small lobster tails dish was so spicy that I couldn't eat it. The soup was good as was the replacement short ribs dish. My wife's cod and her pear martini were very good. The service was good-excellent. The dense chocolate brownie that we took home for desert was very good.

Our server was fantastic! Usually the food is very good but I found it just ok and perhaps it was what I ordered ; crab rolls, shrimp lettuce wraps and large Caesar salad. The shrimp lettuce wraps had an unusual taste, the crab mango rolls had very little taste and the salad had too much dressing. The prices also have gone up which was expected given the economy. I will go there again to see if things change for the better.

We made this reservation to celebrate our 40 th wedding anniversary. We had no idea the restaurant was open for graduation parties, not normally open on Sundays. Menu was limited. There was one person working the restaurant, she had to barmaid and waitress. She did the best she could considering the situation. You could tell she was frustrated and tired. We were in no hurry. However her first words to us were the kitchen closes in 10 minutes. We felt a little rushed. Certainly not the experience we were expecting on our anniversary

Was very happy to get a last minute reservation on a Friday evening. Definitely one of the most popular spots in the vicinity for consistently good food and drinks. The restaurant and bar were not crowded by any stretch of the imagination. PERHAPS it was due to the truly obnoxious volume at which the piped in background music was played all evening. Our server struggled to hear, cupping her ear every time we spoke with her. We could not enjoy simple dinner conversation without straining or forsaking privacy as we had to shout to be heard. It made for a miserable dining experience. In response to the following question, no I would not recommend based on this experience.

Too noisy to hear each other well . There was a table of about 12 people next to us of which about 6 were children. Their voices were not controlled well. The food was wonderful. Though it is hard to relax when we have to strain to each each other talk.

Might have the best chocolate ice cream I’ve ever tasted in the US. Entire meal that came before was good too. Overall a bit pricey, but still worth it for a solidly delicious meal in a comfortable environment with outstanding service.

The food was good. We ate dinner on the first level behind the bar and I was on a first date. It was loud a definitely not romantic. The waitress was very good and on top of things. I will try it again.

Mothers Day reservation. Our server was fine but the issue was the kids they had bringing the food out. Waited 45mins for our main course and was brought the wrong one. Mine was mostly correct but the meat was not cooked to medium, it was more like very rare while my wife's was not even the right order at all. We did not want to wait another 45mins for them to prepare her meal nor mine that was sent back.

The salmon was excellent! Rather than sit across from each other at the table we sat shoulder to shoulder and conversation was easier because the noise level was fairly high. I would certainly return for another dinner and recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly.

A great place that never disappoints. There was a large lunch crowd and was understaffed with 2 servers so they were definitely overwhelmed, but overall the service was efficient. The server was lukewarm but the hostess was more than accommodating and extremely welcoming. Will return for sure. Martini’s are always excellent!
