    Lemon Shrimp Bow Tie Pasta
    Cheryl W.

    Tried for first time 4/8/26. Ordered the lemon rice and chicken soup. It was too thick and was lacking in the lemon flavor. Ordered the shrimp appetizer it was good then had the lemon shrimp bow tie pasta. The portions are a good size the husband and I shared. The prices are reasonable. Service was really good and wasn't busy at time we went so we could talk to each other. The music was good. We will go again saw a few things we would like to try.

    Crabcakes, string beans, mashed potato and an excellent roll. Delicious.

    The food was excellent. My wife and I had French onion soup and then we had the crabcakes with string beans and mashed potatoes. Everything was fantastic including the very nice server would highly recommend this place. Haven't been here in years. I don't know why I missed. It will return soon five stars.

    My sister said Gastons had a good write-up in a local paper with good reviews, so we went there for lunch. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash and was disappointed with the portion size. I asked the waitress if the cook could add a little more, but a few minutes later, the assistant manager with the same plate without anything added said that I must have been mistaken and had probably seen the "Corned Beef Skillet." Whether it was my version of the corned beef hash or the skillet, it didn't make a difference. My sister ordered their Crab Cake Benedict; what a disaster! I'm sharing a photo of the entree and one from the restaurant's images. The hollandaise sauce in the restaurant photo is smoother than my sister's. However, the eggs are broken, which is far from the smoothness of the restaurant photo. Also, the crab cakes were puny.

    This place has been here for 20 years and I had never heard of it. We read a news story about it and decided to give it a try. And we are so glad we did! I ordered a special so its not on the menu. It was the Scallop Pasta. My experience in the past with this type of dish is that they are usually flavorless. You just get to enjoy the scallops. But low and behold not here! The flavors in this entree were over the top crazy delicious! A 5 out of 5 rating! The ingredients were so fresh and the flavors so bold! The scallops, as well as the other items, were cooked to perfection. The chef knows his business! I had a difficult time selecting my entree as every item on the menu was very appealing. My wife had the Fruity Blast Crepes. She is a crepe coinsure and she was not happy. Her claim is that the crepes were too thin, flavorless and hard. She also feels that the blueberry's were frozen and not fresh. And that there were not enough fruits inside the crepes. The order comes with two crepes which she consumed entirely. She usually has to take some home. She is picky so take that with a grain of salt. 3 out of 5 rating. The owner here gives every customer personal attention which I like and my wife doesn't. But he is a great guy. As I mentioned before the service is friendly and professional. But the food takes a long time to arrive. So they should provide a complementary appetizer to hold you over until your entree arrives. Also the place has poor ventilation and they compensate with fans. The fans are VERY annoying and can ruin your experience if you don't take charge as we did. Overall this is a MUST try venue. I loved it and the wife liked it. But I know better! Go there, you will be glad you did!

The chicken paillard was very tasty but it seemed odd that the chicken and salad were both served on the same very hot plate. Luckily the salad didn't get warm enough to wilt the greens.

    Came here last night for dinner with another couple for the first time. While the food was good,…read morethe service was not so I don't think I'll be back. For starters, we had a reservation which I would recommend. We were seated right away and while the place is large inside, I'm not sure what walk-in availability is like. The food: we really enjoyed the octopus, escargot, I had the Filet Mignon Au Poivre, and the banana/coconut entremet. The octopus was tender and flavorful; octopus cooked right (especially in smaller pieces) is hard to find so I was impressed. The escargot was nice and buttery/garlicky, and piping hot. I LOVED my Filet with the green peppercorn cream sauce! It was delicious and my husband was surprised I ate so much of it. It was cooked exactly as I asked, the meat had good flavor, and the sauce was delicious and well balanced + the right consistency. Lastly, the banana and coconut dessert was a pleasant surprise. The banana flavor was fresh (not artificial) and had the right balance of coconut. It was creamy, not too sweet, and had the right balance of textures with the outer coating and the crumble underneath - if you like banana or coconut at all I'd say it's a must order! The creme brulee was just okay. My issue was the service - the table next to ours LIT ON FIRE because a menu was over the top of a candle. After burning half the menu and the fire was getting larger, our partners ran over and put it out with their napkins. They yelled and there was NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT from the staff at all - at least 2 staff saw and one waiters eyes got big for a minute and she turned away. Not even a thank you from anyone to our partners for putting it out, and they had to ask for new napkins because theirs had black char on them. We were in the middle of enjoying our appetizers and my friend was just digging into her French onion soup from our first round and the staff kept trying to take our plates away. My friend had to tell them 3 times to please leave the soup at the table, and overall made us feel very rushed. We weren't taking a long time to eat at all so felt very weird? When the entrees were dropped on the table, my friend got a steak and they kept trying to give her a butter knife. It took multiple attempts to get the correct knife. Then once we were done eating it took a while to get our plates and old glasses cleared away. Overall service timing was off and their aggressiveness in the beginning of trying to take our plates away + the lack of response to A FIRE in the restaurant was pretty alarming. While I enjoyed the food there, the service was pretty bad and I feel unsafe with the lack of response to a fire in the restaurant so I don't think we'll return.

She was so sweet, service with a smile. We started with a couple of their handcrafted cocktails. Hubby had tonight's special drink, a Gold Rush. I had the sister to a Gold Rush, a Bees Knees. It's just a matter of bourbon vs gin. Both are refreshing cocktails made with honey and lemon. We shared the Spanish octopus to begin, a perfectly grilled octopus tentacle in a romesco sauce topped with pico de gallo and toasted almonds. We thoroughly enjoyed it. A generous portion and so tender. Hubby had the Saturday night special, the smoked prime rib. It came with grilled vegetables and truffle fries. He had this speciality last time. This time it was so fatty (see photo). I had the grouper puttanesca with couscous. I love grouper but I felt it was salty. With capers and anchovy, the fish didn't need salt as these things bring salt to the dish. However, our entrees were generous in size and tasty. We definitely like this restaurant. They have a loyalty program, plenty of seating inside and out, a nice bar area and a Vegas-style gaming room. Phoenix Kitchen even nixed using seed oil at their restaurant. We did miss out on the complimentary house-made limoncello this time. What's up with that?!
