Crab cakes
Suzan H.

Are at bar, wait person, Michie was absolutely wonderful. Ordered oysters and crab cakes. All tasted fresh. Was told chef James created the food. Will be back for me.

Lobster Mac
Robert B.

This was our first visit for "date night" and it was a great dinner. The Crab Cakes (2) were the best we have tasted anywhere. Really - gotta try them! The Lobster Mac was good but bland. Salt & Pepper helped. We think they should make it with Smoked Gouda Cheese to add flavor. The Braised Short Ribs with mushroom risotto was amazing! Fell off the bone. 100% having again. The Grilled Lollipop Lamb with blackberry compote was okay. The flavoring was good. Would not get it again. With tip, dinner was about $144. Not inexpensive, but a good meal. Service was really good and the decor/ambiance was relaxing.

Seriously though????

Literally every time we go here none of the waiters know what the scallop toppers are. They always bring the more expensive scallops with crab for $60. Why??????? How hard is it to train them on the menu properly. My daughter and her husband went for her birthday and she ordered scallop toppers, filet and lobster tails to go for my other daughter and I. Here is what she was charged. I regret recommending this place to her.

Ribeye steak with sautéed mushrooms on the side

Ambiance was nice, service was great, the food was amazing and the drinks were strong. Highly recommend the ahi tuna poke appetizer, the braised short ribs and mushroom risotto for your main course and the butter toffee cake with ice cream for dessert. (Hubby got the steak and he forgot to share so I can't speak on it but I guess it was that good). Some may say it's too nice to have in Woodbridge but I disagree. I hope they can maintain the quality of service and food because it's really nice to have a fine dining experience close to home. Shout out to Chef James who came by to greet our table and make sure that everything came out to our liking.

A friend gave us a gift card, which is how we found this place, and now we've been twice, both times for dinner. Once we sat in the dining room and once at the bar, and both were amazing in their own way. Ambiance: Upscale without being stuffy. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night, and it feels like a special occasion even when you're just there to enjoy dinner. Service: Amazing. The servers were knowledgeable and friendly, and the bartenders were just as warm when we sat at the bar. Both sides of the house made us feel taken care of. Food: Phenomenal. The steak was great, the mashed potatoes were great, and even the vegetables were great. The drinks were great too, and the spirit selection is impressive. If you're debating dining room versus bar, you can't go wrong. Come hungry and bring someone you want to impress.

The restaurant is not huge and they have managed to get a good number of tables which as you walk through the restaurant can feel a bit cramped. When seated it doesn't feel as crowded even though the tables are close together. It is more of a challenge for the servers to navigate. The restaurant has a rustic atmosphere with exposed brick and wood. There is not much room inside if you are waiting to be seated and they will maintain a waitlist for seats at the bar. I do like that the people working the host stand will take a drink order and a server will bring your drinks while you are waiting and that will be added to your table bill so no need to worry about paying separately for the drinks. The food is very good but most entrees are a-la-carte. Prices are high but not outrageous for quality steak cuts. The wine list is extensive but most of the bottle prices are very high. There are wines available by the glass.

Flew into town for a concert and saw this at the top of the recommendations, very serendipitous!…read more The place has a great atmosphere from the moment you walk in, the decor has a unique kitsch and the music is a definite vibe as well, and that's before you meet the staff. The staff was friendly front to back, hostess, waitress, bar tender- friendly and knew the menu and had solid recommendations and knowledge of the menu. The food was great, we had rangoons for an appetizer, followed by their famous General Tso's and the Mongolian Combination, all delicious! Highly recommend this place if you're in the area! Shout out to Jason!

I came here with a couple of friends who live in the area. The initial vibe and aesthetic seemed…read morereally cool. I was excited for my meal and experience there. However things went downhill pretty quickly. I ordered one of their specialty cocktails, which is more expensive than most of their meals, which was just ok. The drink was pretty strong which I didn't mind but most of it was just ice and the gummy was a little stale. Overall it looked cool but didn't really justify the price. The service is really where I felt let down. The 2 friends that I came with got their food in a normal timespan but it took 20-30 minutes for me to get my food. When I asked about it (because clearly they forgot) they lied and said their kitchen was backed up and the order is being prepared. The restaurant was half empty at that point so it was a little hard to believe. Also another waiter came out 10 minutes later and said my food just started to get cooked and will be out soon. Both my friends were pretty much done with their meals by the time I got mine and I didn't get anything from the staff aside from an insincere apology and a bad excuse. For the price we paid I expected much better service and for the staff to go above and beyond when they make a mistake, which didn't happen. The food was good when it eventually did come out though so I I'll give it an extra star for that.

Such beautiful chandeliers,…read morecushioned chairs, leather booths and a wall of glass bourbon jugs I might bump up the wait staffs uniform just a tiny bit, but that may be the only thing I'd change! Our server, Athena, was great. Very deadpan, but i love that! Especially because she was also great at her job Everything was delicious! We started with steak and cheese dumplings, quesadilla bites, and monkey bread - all fantastic! We ordered BBQ Meatball Flatbread, Knife and Fork Burrito, and Fried Chicken Biscuit. The ice sphere machine was broken, so Old Fashioneds came out with multiple ice cubes, which apparently is less than desired. Several of those were ordered, as well as an espresso martini, pumpkin martini, Autumn Spritz and pineapple mimosa. Everything was amazing! Before I could even finish my review from dining here yesterday, WE CAME BACK! We brought the oldest son and his girlfriend as well. Today we started with the pork belly lollipops, Tater Tot appetizer and Reuban eggrolls. The tots came with queso poured over the top and pickles or pickled jalapeños. The presentation was not the world's greatest, but that's possibly bc i prefer to dip instead of have my food covered in sauce. Entrees we got, Pastrami Burger, Proper Proof omelet, fried chicken and Captain Berries waffles, Captain Berries Waffles (no chicken) and the Queso Burger. Everything was soooo good! I did prefer the appetizers we got yesterday to the ones we got today, but nothing was bad! This morning our server was Cam, which, he was very nice! Oh and today's drinks were doubled old Fashioneds and a lavender lemon drop and winter white something that has a sprig of rosemary and a few fresh cranberries floating. For some reason after all of that we got a few of the personal sized desserts - The Smores, Sticky Toffee Pudding, and Banana Pudding. FML they were amazing. The toasted merengue on the banana pudding took it to another level.

At times that I feel that the dish is too salty or desserts too decadent, I think the kitchen is having a bad day. Now that I have given some space between visits, it is without a doubt that their chef has a heavy hand on the salt shaker. Not just one, but ALL of the dishes. It can be almost unedible and must be taken with lots of water. Why is this? To hide the spoiled meat? To make you thirsty to order more drinks? I am going to stick to drinks next time since it costs so much per menu item and I value my money to parallel what I buy. + staff + drinks + parking ++ ambiance

Under new management straight from New York, the place delivers that fast-paced, friendly NYC spirit, complete with speedy service and waitresses who make you feel like family the moment you walk in. The restaraunt is handicap accessible and offers three tables of outdoor seating perfect for those summer days when you want to catch the sun and breeze all at once. With 10 large screen TVs scattered throughout, including five right over the bar, there's plenty of sports action to keep you entertained. An as a special treat football Sundays bring all day happy hour, so you can kick back sip, save, and see sports. The restrooms are clean and include a baby changing station for the little ones. They even have lighted mirrors over the sink but, spoiler alert, those lights don't work, so bring your own glow if you want to touch up...lol. Feeling lucky? There are three slot machines to test your good fortune. oh yeah, the food, the salad was so fresh I thought I died and came back as a rabbit.. The crabcake was spot-on, more crab than batter, golden and perfectly cooked. I got adventurous with a mango lemonade blended with mango iced tea, which was straight-up tropical magic in a glass but cost me a dollar up charge for getting fruity. Now, the mac & cheese? It had a strong boxed mac vibe, nostalgic but not quite my jam since I started making over minimum wage. Shoutout to the staff for offering to swap it out immediately, but since it was nothing really wrong with it besides the fact that I don't like box, mac & cheese, I stayed the course (no harm done). Non-lunch hour menu prices run from $12 to $48, offering a large variety of food, options. The lunchtime menu mostly cost around $10, with a few $14 items thrown in, perfect for a satisfying midday break without breaking the bank. Extra points for weekday deals: Happy Hour hits Monday through Friday, 3 PM to 6 PM, ideal for those early evening wind-downs. Plus, lunch is served Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 2 PM, so Girlfriend's is ready whether you want a quick bite or a relaxed meal. All in all, this taphouse puts a tasty and lively spin on a beloved local spot, and I'm definitely coming back for more of that mango magic and of course a different side dish.

The picture promised naked wings -- bare, confident, unclothed wings living their best life. What arrived was breaded. Fully clothed. Wearing a coat we did not order. This is bait and switch at the sauce level, and I want a refund on my trust. We got 10 hot and 5 lemon pepper. The hot wings tasted like someone opened a bottle of Frank's RedHot, showed it to the chicken from across the room, and called it seasoning. The breading itself was thick but not offensively so -- more "linebacker" than "Michelin man." Heat level: medium, despite being billed as hot, and the wings had a slight greasiness that wasn't a dealbreaker, just an unwelcome plus-one. The seasoned fries showed up allegedly seasoned. The seasoning was salt. Just salt. Salt doing its one job and getting all the credit for a team effort it didn't put in. The lemon pepper wings were fine -- perfectly respectable, solidly "okay," the culinary equivalent of a shrug. We've had better lemon pepper at random beach shacks that don't even have a website. Final verdict: 3/5 wings. The lemon pepper seasoning did show up and hydrate the breading nicely -- genuine bright spot. Everything else was a wing that looked better in its headshot than in person.
