Locke- Ober
Make a Reservation Now
Chef Lydia Shire is in charge now, and she’s given the aging dining room a buff and polish and, with the help of executive chef Mario Capone, revamped the menu. The oysters, steak, and lobsters have never tasted better.

Review
I was disappointed with the quality of the food and the service. Dry calamari appatizer. Simple bland watery fish. Partly melted ice cream for desert. Overprice food, that was not prepared nor presented well. The service too was just mediocre. The waiter told us he's been there 17 years. NONE of the waiters seemed to have the speed/desire/drive to "Wow" any of the patrons in the room!
