    We experienced discrimination at its finest, but my son and I took our business elsewhere. To the lady in the bar area (Laura I think), your disgusting and disrespectful behavior will eventually catch up with you…we all gotta reap what we sow. The waitress in the main area and the girls at the front desk were very pleasant.

    Our reservation was for 7:45. We were not seated until 8:45, even though we were on time. Several groups that showed up AFTER us were seated before us. We were seated at the end of the night as the restaurant emptied. I felt that we were overlooked because we were a table of 6 and not a full table of 8. Saving grace was our server and chef.

    The food here is always great. The service is phenomenal. This place is a must go for birthdays. The happy birthday celebrations from the staff is the best!! The Filet Chateaubriand was perfect.

    Felt very rushed to eat and get out. Was a very busy night, Christmas Eve, so I understand. Chef rushed the presentation (no broken heart, no flipping shrimp tails into the hat, minimal choo choo.
