    Server was good, atmosphere and food outstanding. Our drinks took close to 20 minutes to come out, so I was a bit disappointed with that. Other than that it was a great experience.

    Unfortunately, it was not the experience we were expecting. We were celebrating a birthday. We got seated in the very loud bar area. By the time I thought about it, it was late to be reseated. The waiter was a bit insulting and kept making jokes about the kids paying the check. When I ordered the cioppino he asked me if I knew what I was ordering… It grew old fast. Kids had fish and chips, husband steak and lobster. Food was good, but not the amazing experience we were used to from Joe Fortes of years past. Very expensive, but quality not there. $450 all told. Sorry to say it was a very expensive, very disappointing evening.
