    Wow, as advertised, great host, server, manager!!!! The food we ordered was all superb!!! Crab cake to start, wife ordered the meatloaf, I had the short rib stroganoff. We had reservations and thankful we thought ahead, the 1330 lunch rush was visible on the weekend. I ordered a bloody mary, only portion of the meal which I thought lacked attention. Manager passed by the table and was very nice!!! Thank you for the Carrot cake, it was phenomenal. Highly would recommend and glad we came!!!

    I was taken aback with all the security in front of the restaurant. Made me question the environment inside of the restaurant. Then they patted my date down! For dinner?! It was 7:30 pm, not 2am in front of a nightclub. I was so confused. If we didn't have to leave a deposit when making the reservation, we would have left. However, once inside, the restaurant was pretty empty and quite lovely. The service was prompt and professional. My drink (Sexxy red) was absolutely delicious. The appetizer was fresh, and so tasty. Our entrée did not disappoint. We were very happy with the service and food and so glad we did not allow the initial impression turn us away from such a wonderful experience and amazing food.
