Desite having made reservations almost a week in advance, the hostess initially tried to put us in a cramped two seat spot next to another group where it felt like we were part of that group (it would have been an intimate seat if the other table had not been a foot and a half away from us). We asked if they could move us to another table, and hesitantly they said yes, though we would have to wait, despite the fact that there was at least one table open at that time. We sat at the bar and had a couple of glasses of wine. While two other couples were seated that came in after us, we waited. I ordered the check from the bar (they didn't bother to offer a complimentary coctail, which they didn't have to, but it would have been nice under the circumstances) and we were getting ready to go somewhere else when they finally seated us. The waitress was wonderful and very helpful. The appetizers (New Orleans Style Barbeque Shrimp and Scallops in a creamy sauce) were very good, but that's where it ended. I love ribeye steak and they had a ribeye on special, but it was about as bland a steak as I had ever eaten.

In short, I did not get a good first impression from the restaurant. I thought it was going to be a bit more upscale in service, but the service was mediocre, and the only thing that raised it to mediocre was the very good service from our waitress. I will probably try it again sometime to see if it was just a one time experience, but I will go in with a bit of skepticism.
