Give yourself some time

The food and drinks were pretty good, I had the mahi-mahi sandwich which was a bit dry,and my date had the New York Strip which I sampled and it was excellent. Hickory smoked and cooked the way he asked for it.

I'd stick with the specials (drink-wise) or the seasonal beer. Our service, especially on the deck was very, very slow. We would have stayed outside for an extra cocktail, but we waited nearly 20 minutes for the first drink, and the deck was dead. That's the only reason I took off a couple stars.

A friend of ours used to work there and warned us of the slow service before we went, but we weren't expecting to be there for as long as we were. One thing that helped was the live jazz music in the bar.

All in all, I'd go back, but I'd be prepared to spend most of the evening there.

• Pros: Steak, ambience
• Cons: Slow service

Romantic

I just don't think this restaurant is one of the "romantic" ones. Expensive, however, not romantic.
