Reviews
The food experience, however, was quite mixed.
The steak was acceptable — around 6/10.
We also ordered a scallop risotto. The scallops themselves were good, but unfortunately the risotto was very disappointing, about 2/10, both in texture and flavor.
We also tried the tuna with avocado, mango, and wasabi sauce. The tuna itself was decent, but the rest of the components were difficult to eat. The mango seemed unripe, and the wasabi sauce was overpowering and unbalanced.
The biggest disappointment was the banana dessert. The presentation was extremely unappetizing and made it impossible for us to even try it. We shared our feedback with the staff, and while the situation was uncomfortable, the dessert was ultimately removed from our bill.
This restaurant has a nice atmosphere and potential, but the food — especially some of the main dishes and desserts — needs significant improvement.
Our drinks were a hit: I had a refreshing Mixed Berry Mint Cocktail, my fiancée had a tropical Malibu Bay Breeze, and my dad enjoyed a smooth, rich Red Blend. For appetizers, we had an incredible dozen oysters—ice cold, fresh, and briny with a tangy mignonette and Tabasco—and perfectly crispy fried calamari with a sweet chili sauce that hit all the right notes.
For entrees, I had a 16 oz NY Strip, juicy and seared to a perfect medium rare. My fiancée’s 16 oz Ribeye was rich and beautifully marbled, while my mom’s Chicken Milanese was golden, crispy, and topped with a light arugula salad. My dad also had the NY Strip and called it one of the best steaks he’s had in years.
We shared three knockout sides: a loaded baked potato with all the fixings, garlicky parmesan-roasted asparagus, and the indulgent, creamy lobster mac and cheese—absolutely packed with tender chunks of lobster.
Desserts were outstanding: I had a luscious Frangelico tiramisu, my fiancée loved the sea salt caramel cheesecake, and my dad’s bananas foster was warm and dreamy. We finished with rich coffees and were treated to complimentary limoncello—bright, smooth, and the perfect ending.
