I wanted to try something different while visiting California. Sebastian was great & very nice. The dynamite seafood made me sick. I was surprised my server, Victoria was just like “oh okay” I felt like other guests were more important. The service was okay; however I would not revisit because the food was not very good & the service was not inviting. The DJ was decent (even though he was 2 hours late). Maybe it was an off day for Thursday happy hour.

Came out here for a Sunday brunch, seen the pictures and reviews so I decided to check it out.Reservation - Didn't have any so I checked in and was told a hr wait, during the waiting process it really took about 30 minutes once I got the text. Place can get busy so reservations are recommended.Venue - Place is very nice with a lot of seating, booth, private room, patio seating etc. The decor is modern and Place is up-to-date and clean.Service - Good service and checked on regularly.Food - Food was good but not great. Kinda expected a bit more from a place like this but it isn't disappointing.Location - Great location at the plaza, right in front of the Movie Theater.Parking - Can be a lil hectic on the weekends here at the mall but manageable.Overall it was a good experience but if I came back I would like to explore other restaurants nearby.

My wife and I went here for our 12 anniversary, it’s close to home and we rode our scooters for a little bit of fun. I will start off by saying that this was not the first time we have been to this establishment, and the previous outing was wonderful! On this special occasion we were greeted at the door quite appropriately. After looking at the bar seating, (live DJ night so too loud) we decided to ask for a table. We were escorted to a booth and after taking a seat I place my hand directly in something cold, moist, and squishy! I asked our hostess for a napkin and showed her the glob on my finger, she did return with plenty of napkins. Our server showed up and gave me a head nod and casually asked “ready”? I would include his name here, however he never fully acknowledged nor introduced himself. We ordered drinks and an appetizer and told mystery man that we would peruse the menu. Shortly after our mysterious man left, my wife then scooted closer to me, and promptly set her hand in a mysterious gelatinous grease doldrum. I then asked my wife of 12 years to step outside the booth, we were no longer going to sit in a filthy seat. The next person to show up dropped off our drinks and I informed him of the situation and asked if we could slide down to the next open booth. He was very accommodating and he placed our drinks on the next table. He then asked if there was anything else he could do for us so I told him that also, I asked for a lemon with my drink and if I could please have one. He promptly rolled his eyes at me and then brought me a shot glass filled with browning limes. I then asked him if I could speak to the manager and he said that in fact, he was the manager, Miguel. At this point I was beyond exasperated and I explained to Miguel our series of unfortunate events. I also explained to him that previous to moving to the area, I and my wife had spent years in the service industry waiting tables and tending bar. Miguel was unimpressed. In fact Miguel was not even apologetic. He did say that we could in fact leave if we so chose to and that the drinks were going to be of no charge. Shortly after our unnamed server came back with our appetizer, dropped it off, then stood there silently. I told him thank you. Mystery man nodded at me again and asked, again, “ready”? We left and went to Cheesecake Factory. Would not recommend.

Seared Salmon AMAZING! Perfectly cooked and seasoned.The Limoncello Beurre Blanc sauce was to die for!!! Trust me ask for a side! Appetizers and drinks were on point. We left as the DJ was getting started...next time.

Went there on a Sat night. Cocktails were delicious and not overpowering. DJ was playing good music from 2000-now. A bit loud in the bar but nice in the restaurant. The food was incredible!! Lived here for 8 years and had no idea that we have a downtown quality restaurant right here. Highly recomment the seafood and cocktails. The braised octopus and spiney lobster were out of this world! Just as good as we had in Chile!!

Great beer selection at a reasonable price. Even better during happy hour. Fire pit outdoors is quite cozy. Only complaint is the music can be way too loud for some.

Stopped by for Happy Hour on Saturday afternoon. Great little find. Nice laid-back atmosphere. Good music. Sat in the bar area. Sliding glass doors open up along the entire bar. Outdoor seating with heaters and fire pit. Good pricing on Happy Hour drinks and appetizers. 3 Filet Mignon sliders for $10 were great. Only negative observation I had was there was one waitress for the bar area and outside. It was not very busy and we were outside for several minutes before we decided to move inside because we didn't see the waitress come out. Once we were inside she was very attentive and I did see her make her way outside. Definitely a place to go back to.

So i checked the site for Savoie on Valentines Day to see what they had. The site said they had happy hour all day on all Mondays and said nothing about everything being full price. My wife and I had movie plans and dropped in for a cocktail and app before the movie with plans to go back afterward for more drinks and apps. After ordering our drinks and app off the happy hour menu and having them delivered, we were told by the waitress that per management, everything was now full price. When she told us, at least three tables near us got up and left. We complained and were told regardless of the menus and website, we would be charged full price. We finished our drinks, left and did not return. Unfortunately this is a place my family has enjoyed going to but not anymore. They lost several customers that night…what a shame, trying to make an extra buck without telling you until it was too late. We should have walked out like the others.

Excellent service, great ambiance. DJ dantastic and busboy excelente... 100%

We waited over and hour after we were seated to ve served our food (place wasnt rhat busy) and hour before that just to get a table. Our severe only check on us twice. It was really bad service. The food was mediocre. You would think and Italian restaurant would have Italian food. They only had one pasta dish. Rest was seafood. We spent over $300 (no alcohol). This place is not worth the money we spent. I would never recommend the place.
