    First and foremost I would like to compliment the staff from the hostesses to the wait staff on their superior service!! (Thanks for the Beach Picture :) From the moment we walked in the door everyone had a great attitude and went out of their way to make sure our party was taken care of. The oysters & shrimp were delicious, the chowder soup, fried green tomatoes, red snapper and drinks were all top notch. The atmosphere was light not too loud and the music was at the right level that you could have a conversation without yelling. I would definitely recommend this restaurant & look forward to returning. We can’t wait to try the one in Charleston SC on summer vacation:) Great Valentines celebration did not disappoint.

    We had an incredible experience at Hyde Park Steakhouse in the Short North. ANDREW was awesome and provided great wine pairings and food recommendations. I highly recommend the Graham Rahal Steak or Steak Tressel, Potato Gruyère Gratin, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Lobster Bisque, and the Carrot Cake (even though Andrew almost sold us on the Butter Cake :) ).

    My husband and I enjoyed an early Valentine's dinner last night. Once again Jeffy Ruby's was perfect! We enjoyed a wonderful bottle of wine and delicious food. Dave our server was excellent and attentive throughout the evening. His recommendations for dessert were spot on, I've never had the butter pie and so glad I chose it, perfection! Of course the steak and lobster were perfectly cooked and delicious, like I would expect from Jeff Ruby's high quality beef and seafood selections. We are already looking forward to dining here again and we are still talking about how great our meals were last night!
