The low rating is solely based on the preparation of the entrees. We asked for the temperature of the steak to be what the chef recommends and were told it would be medium rare. The lamb entree was cooked perfectly but the coating was a bit underwhelming. We can only recommend 3 (crab cake, she crab soup, lobster bisque) of the 4 (artichoke salad) starters we had, and they were tremendous. The desserts were good, nothing to complain about, but nothing to rave about.We did mention to Wes towards the end of service that the steak was overdone, but we never send plates back to the kitchen.This is a special occasion type of place and you will remember the experience. Unfortunately, for us, the entrees did not live up to the price point.
