The meal is meant to be part show. It wasn't bad but nothing like it used to be. It feels very bland now. The food was ok but mostly overcooked. It's still an experience, just missing soul.

Great food! Great staff! Atmosphere was upbeat and perfect for dinner - not too quiet, not too loud. We had appetizers, New York strip, and scallops - all cooked to perfection. The presentation on all dishes was well-thought too - something we appreciate.

We always enjoy dining at Chef Geoff and were especially interested in trying the Monday Mussels menu. We were seated promptly and placed our orders. The server brought my husband's order promptly but my entree was not correct. Our waiter apologized for the error and indicated that it would be corrected. However, a 15 minute wait was required -- not quite what we had expected. I'll chalk this up to a busy night but hope that the serve improves on our next visit. The mussels, by the way, were fantastic.
