    Our server, Heather, was attentive & friendly. She recommended the calamari appetizer which was the best we’ve ever had! We had the catch of the day which was scallops and they were so large & extremely delicious! Loved the experience! It was my husband’s birthday & he felt very spoiled!

    The service overall was average. It nearly took them 25 min to notice we were sitting to be served. My husband had to get up to let them know we were there. The food was average for the price. Overall, the food was okay, but not the best. The environment and seating with view to the lake was the best. But other than that nothing else special.

    For a seafood restaurant the selection of seafood dishes are not too many…The oysters were acceptable and the glass of Bourdeaux was fair…The view is spectacular and the tables lack white tablecloth….for the price of the food.

    We called and left a message Friday 11/10 to reserve a table for four at 5:00 for my birthday dinner 11/15. We never received a confirmation call so we reserved through online Open Table 11/14. Then they finally called to confirm the afternoon of 11/14. We got to the restaurant early at 4:40 because it was raining on and off. We were told they couldn't seat us, have a seat at the bar and come back to the counter at 5:00! Our table and the entire area was set and looked ready to us. At 5:00 we went back to the counter to be seated and they acted like they never saw us before. On a positive note: The food at Pisces Rising is pricey but good. The waitress was very nice and professional. However I am not one to sit at a bar so I resent being sent there and not being seated at our table. They could have seated us and taken our drink orders there. I was very disappointed and it put a damper on my entire birthday dinner.

    We went to Pisces Rising for my husband's birthday. We had been looking forward to trying this restaurant out for some time and it was the perfect occasion. The location is good, with a small view of the lake across the street, and music playing in the background but those are the only good things that occurred. We had a 6 p.m. reservation. Upon being seated we ordered a bottle of wine to start, then our entrees about 15 minutes later. Then we waited. And waited. Finally, the manager (Shane) came out to tell us that my husband's pork chop was overcooked and a new dish needed to be prepared. 15 minutes later his meal came out with mine (which looked like it had been under a heat light for a LONG time). Then I realized that my meal was not complete, so I asked for the menu to be sure I was correct in my observation. Our waitress then admitted that it was the wrong order. 10 minutes later I was given a side dish of something...spinach? It was a total of 2 hours that we waited for our entrees and we never received an apology from either the waitress or the manager - only excuses. The only thing the manager did was pour some more wine (which we had already had an entire bottle by that time) into our glasses. We decided to return the dishes, then we paid the bill for the wine and left. Terrible service all around.

    We wanted to love this restaurant. Service was great! The appetizers turned out great. Then the entrees arrived. Ordered the red snapper and risotto that were on the daily specials menu. The fish was so over cooked that it couldn't be cut with a knife. The risotto was cooked properly, but the flavor of rosemary was so overwhelming that it was inedible. It was if the shift changed in the kitchen half way through our experience.

    Great location, ambience, and outdoor music. I had the quiche (feta, spinach and cherry tomato), and it was possible the worst tasting quiche I have ever had. The crust and the egg filling had no flavor and was so airy (or spongy) I could not even taste any egg. However, I would give it another try.

    I ordered the quiche of the day which was spinach, mushroom, and feta cheese. Barely any mushroom or spinach in it plus it was very dry. The potatoes that came with it were very dry and tasted like they were sitting around for a long time and then re-heated. The side of fruit was the best part of the meal.

    Had a wonderful lunch on the deck. Started with beef brisket empanadas with Korean bbq sauce. Very tasty. We each had a salad; seafood cobb and Asian chicken. Both large and well constructed with plenty of protein. Excellent! Had a rum old fashioned which was a twist for me but enjoyable. Will be back to explore more items on the menu.
