    We booked reservations for thanksgiving. My salmon was undercooked and I had to send it back twice. My family was almost done eating by the time my food came and the staff and manager did not offer any sort of compensation (not even a free coffee.) they did apologize but it was just so odd to me that nothing else was done to make up for the inconvenience. Everyone at our table thought their food was mediocre. It was very loud and crowded, felt like they tried to squeeze as many tables they could into their back room. And the server was not very friendly, just bland service, bland food. Really disappointed.

    Enjoyed the traditional Thanksgiving dinner at a reasonable price. Excellent service from Lester and others. A little noisy...but it was a family holiday so more than understandable. Substantial portions and delicious food. It wasn't until much later that I missed the sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce. But then again, no plate is large enough to hold the Thanksgiving faves of every diner!

    First, we had to sit outside because the restaurant said we would have had to wait 30+ minutes to sit inside (where our reservation was). We then waited 60+ minutes for our entrees to come out, at which point all of our drinks were empty and we had not seen our server since we ordered. When we finally received our main courses they were all cold. At the end of the meal we tried to order a final round of cocktails (simply a second round of our previous drinks) and they looked completely different and tasted so bad we had to send them back (which I have never done before). We had been regulars here and were hosting guests from out of town so it was extremely disappointing to say the least. We do not plan to be going back here.

    The wait time on a Saturday night was crazy long. People were stuffed in the bar and in the doorway waiting to be seated for extended periods of time. We were there for a birthday celebration and there was a second event that we needed to attend after dinner. Our 7:45 reservation was meaningless here as we watched the clock tick by and waited an hour to be seated. To the restaurants credit, they did offer us a free round of drinks when we were finally seated. The noise level was very high and almost unbearable, but the food was very good. The mushroom lasagna was especially delicious. I definitely give it high marks for food and service, and I will return there, but not during prime time on a Saturday night.

    They're scamming you with false advertising. Food is not included in bottomless and you have to buy food to participate in bottomless. This is not communicated UNTIL YOU HAVE ALREADY STARTED BOTTOMLESS AND YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

    Had a nice Sunday lunch there, because my fave, Oceans doesn’t serve lunch on weekends. We all had very tasty salads, two excellent Cobbs, and one more house salad type. My only complaint was that I ordered four bottles from the wine list, the first being a vinegar like wine that was rejected, the second two picks not in stock, and the fourth tasted pretty good. Service was competent, and noise level fairly high with lots of groups dining and chatting at high level. Finally, the meatball app was also quite good.

    The food was good, as was the service. It was a bit too noisy for us. I’ve been there before, mainly at lunch or Sunday brunch, and it’s been quieter. We will definitely vack but will try to avoid “prime time “

    We had a very good meal, and were generally happy with the whole experience. However, their wine list only features a very limited selection of wines under $100 a bottle, and when we tried to order one of these, we were told time after time that they were “completely out of that one.” This just didn’t seem reasonable, and dampens my enthusiasm for the place.
