Been here a couple times now. Always full and busy of course due to location. But the food is…read moregreat and menus are expansive. Tuesday for us today at 6 and had reservations. Still packed. Nothing happens fast there but the servers are doing the best they can to keep up. If you go in knowing this- you'll be ok. If not - you're likely going to be frustrated. We feel like they train their employees very seriously and they reflect it in their assertiveness, demeanor and appearance. We arrived at 6. Got drinks at 630. Appetizers at 645 and food shortly afterwards- maybe 7. Overall very reasonable considering how packed it was. I can't even imagine what the kitchen looks like with all this going on. The only complaint I have (tho it was free!!! So I should not complain) They gave my wife this big banana split for her birthday- but it was after we had all eaten our dessert and were miserably full. So.. I guess I spent an extra $24 dollars on hers and my desserts that we'd been able to split the split had they timed it. Anyway they gave us a nice personal card for her. Pricing and the timing the only reason for less than 5 stars. But likely next visit will be 5. Over all loved it and will be back.

We've done both the hibachi table and the booth and both were great experiences every time. The hibachi table is always a blast as each and every single cook we've ever gotten has been as entertaining as they are outgoing and personable, i imagine the hiring process must be a rigorous one because regardless of who it is on the table, they always know exactly what they're doing on top of overflowing with charisma. Our experience in the booths when we order sushi is always pleasant as well as the waiters have always been kind and approachable. And of course the sushi is delicious too!

I came here today for a very early lunch. 11:30 AM. I was with an elderly friend who is recently…read morewidowed. We were seated at a nice window table with a wonderful view of the golf course. Lovely. We could see a fountain. There was also a fireplace near us, which was a nice touch. Service was OK. A little bit slow, and in my opinion, the server was not well trained in basic table service. I would expect a bit better in such a nice location with a lovely restaurant. We both had coffee with plenty of cream. We asked what the soup was, the server didn't know if they had soup. A few minutes later, she returned to say they only had clam chowder. Which is exactly what my friend had had there before and wanted. After a long wait, a very nice bowl of clam chowder was served. It was a healthy portion and came with some oyster crackers. Very tasty. I ordered the roasted beef salad. The beats were on top of a bed of totally overdressed spinach for my taste. The beats were nicely roasted, and there were plenty of them. Candied pecans as well. Not a lot of feta. Pickled onions on top. It was OK only I would not order that again. My friend got the Caesar salad, which was very nice. The croutons were light and crunchy. We also had some bread that came with olive oil and vinegar. This item was fine, not great. The clam chowder was $10 for a bowl and it was the best thing that I had. We had to ask for a refill on our coffee, and also to clear some plates away that were finished. We did stay for a very long time. My friend felt relaxed there and was talking to me quite a bit. I do appreciate that we were not rushed out, however, it was not busy. We were never offered dessert. Perhaps we would've enjoyed that. I see myself returning, if my friend would like to.

She made sure all of our needs were met. This is a very modern and attractive restaurant. They were playing really great 70s soft rock music today, which I particularly liked. They have really delicious complementary bread, that is served with a whipped butter and also with balsamic vinegar/olive oil. We also ordered the bruschetta, which was very tasty and had a very light crisp leaf fried basil leaf on top of each of the three pieces and a generous piece of carved Parmesan. When the dishes came, we realized they were quite generous portions. The chicken scallopini was pretty good. The spaghetti and meatballs was being shared with a toddler, and they were nice enough to substitute the spaghetti for penne pasta. This was also a tasty dish. We ordered the brussels sprouts as well and these were deliciously seasoned and excellently prepared. Highly recommend the brussels sprouts. I really want to emphasize again that the service was exceptional.

No pickles, no pickled onions, no slice of bread with a $90 order. Small sides for $6 were good portions, all were good.

From the moment we walked in, the personal touches were amazing. They had personalized our menu, left a signed congratulations card on our table, and even scattered rose petals across the tablecloth. It made an already special night feel truly unforgettable. Our waiter, Scott, was fantastic and funny--he made the entire evening so memorable! Pro tip: Do yourself a favor and specifically ask for Scott when you make your reservation. We ordered from the Prime Hour menu, which is an absolute bargain. You get to choose between soup or salad, two different entrees, and two different desserts. We both went with the seafood Tagliatelle, and wow. It was so rich, generously loaded with halibut, scallops, shrimp, and prosciutto in an incredible lemon pasta sauce. Note for future diners: They do automatically include a 20% service charge on the bill. However, Scott's service was so exceptional that we happily tipped extra on top of it. Save your pennies, do yourself a favor, and book a table ASAP. You won't regret it!

Parking was a little tricky for first timers. Most of the parking is street parking but there in some underground parking available. My friends ordered the filet mignon while I ordered the Sirloin steak medium rare with grilled prawns. We shared the sauteed mushrooms and the crab mac and cheddar cheese. My steak was very good though the outside was a little crispier than I like it. I have eaten Argentinian steak before at another restaurant so i guess this is how it is cooked in Argentina. The mac and cheese was very good though the macaroni noodles seem way large. Service was impeccable and you do get what you pay. Noise level was moderate.
