    My husband’s food was very good as he ate his Seafood tower. However, my house salad was just a big handful of wilted greens thrown on a salad plate - My shrimp skewer was overly grilled. The service by Arnold was exceptional.

    All other visits have been very good. Tonight, Seafood salad seemed old: scallops watery, overcooked shrimp, crab ok. Mahi mahi was overcooked. Crab cake sandwich tasted very good. French fries were very good after a new order was prepared. BBQ shrimp had good flavor but overcooked. Acorn squash was adequate. Slaw was good. This restaurant is better than this.

    Enjoyed our dinner while visiting Knoxville, though were just a little disappointed in the prices for many items on the menu. However, the range of seafood options was impressive, and service was outstanding.

    Unfortunately, my husband’s birthday dinner was disappointing. The lobster, ribeye and halibut were all overcooked. We were asked to cut into the steak and when he cut into the middle, it looked fine, but we should have cut into the end of the steak and took a bite because the entire steak tasted like charcoal. We do enjoy the mallard affect, but this was way over time top. Our server, Julianna, was great and the wine was wonderful, but I would expect the food to be better for $250+ for two people. Having said that, we’ve had wonderful dinners here, have taken friends, family, and recommended the restaurant to many people. Chefs must have had a bad night so we will be back. Hopefully, for a meal that stands up to what we’ve come to expect from one of our favorite restaurants.

    I wanted to like this place more than I did, based on the reviews. The food was a let-down: the crab bisque was lukewarm, and the house special Coho salmon "caught this week in Alaska by " was pretty dry. Service was cordial, but felt rushed, as they got us in and out of there in about 45 minutes (we didn't say we were in a rush). They weren't particularly busy, so maybe we were the only table the waitress had, but still...
