I came here for dinner with my husband and our two toddlers (2 and 4). Our waiter approached us soon after we sat down and offered us water. Once he brought the waters, we let him know we were ready to order (we always order right away when dining with our kids to avoid delays and a longer wait for food). We already had a good idea of what we wanted--lobster bisque, ribeye steak, and lobster ravioli--plus mashed potatoes and buttered pasta for the kids. We also asked whether he recommended the creamed spinach or the truffle risotto, and he mentioned the risotto was very rich, so we went with the spinach. We added a Caesar salad as well.The Caesar salad and lobster bisque arrived first. The salad dressing was made in-house, but the anchovy flavor was overpowering for me--still, I ate it. The lobster bisque was average--I've had better--but we finished it.The main reason for my 2-star review was the wait time and the quality of our entrées. It took forever for our food to arrive. I asked our waiter when it would be out, and he assured me it would be "any minute now." Ten minutes later, I followed up with the manager, who said, "We're doing our best," and that it should be out soon. Another 5-10 minutes passed before the food finally arrived.It was obvious our entrées had been sitting out for a good 10-15 minutes before they brought them to our table.Hot plate, cold food.As I cut into the ribeye to feed my toddler, I noticed it didn't even look hot. I touched it with my finger--it was barely warm. I had to wait for the waiter to return just to ask for it to be reheated. When I did, he asked if I wanted a new steak, but I declined, assuming that would take another hour. At this point, my kids were tired, hungry, and cranky. My husband's lobster ravioli was cold too--he barely touched it.To be fair, the creamed spinach was really good. The mashed potatoes, however, looked far from fluffy, and my daughter gave the pasta a thumbs down--but ate it anyway because she was so hungry.When the reheated steak finally came back, it was well-done and dry. I've never had a ribeye that dry before, and I felt bad feeding it to my kids--they had to chew it aggressively just to get through it. By then, I had promised them dessert, but I couldn't even bring myself to order it here. We left and got dessert elsewhere.For the $280 we spent, this experience was absolutely not worth it, and we will never return. If you're looking for a fine dining experience with your kids, this is NOT the place. Don't be fooled by the prices--you're paying premium rates for cheap steak.
