    Went for my husband’s birthday and when I made the reservation. I advised that we were also bringing our 3 year old, not a problem because they have a kids menu, which was a plus that included crayons and activities on the menu. We were seated in the chandelier room which was beautiful. I had eaten there before and was seated the second level, but this time we were seated in the first floor is beautiful and intimate. To commemorate the birthday there was a birthday card signed by the staff which was a nice touch. My husband ordered the Rio Jockey Club and I had the an Old Fashioned which were good. For food we ordered a filet mignon with garlic sauces, salmon, mashed potatoes , Brussel sprouts, and Mac n cheese for the little one. The food was all great, no complaints. The service was hit and miss. The server would leave for extended periods of time as if we needed that much time to decide on what we wanted. The management however was great, TJ came by multiple times to check on us and even offered to box up our food. We ended the meal with a birthday treat for my husband. Our daughter especially enjoyed. Overall good experience just as my first time, will definitely come back for happy hour. Would suggest carrying some apple juice if you are going to offer juices for kids.
