We were frustrated that as we were leaving and picking up our wine, that the manger was giving tastings to a group of people in the carry out line. When there were six people trying to get their wine and go. Really unresponsive and unfortunate. There is a tasting bar for a reason. And it was the manager! Our server was great, however, and it won’t keep us from returning.

Four of us, three of us were Veterans, came to experience the Veteran's Day Special and we were not disappointed. Two of us had the complimentary Ribeye Steak, which for me was the best I have had to include Capitol Grill, Morton's and Ruth Chris. My wife had the salmon and it was also delicious. Live music, $2 Eagle Rare Bourbon, absolutely fantastic food with top notch complimentary Veteran's Dinners, this was a Thank You I will long remember! I truly appreciate the generous gesture and I guarantee I will be back many times. Thank You!
