    It was good. For the price paid I sort of hoped for a bit more but it was good. The food was fine. There was nothing wrong with the meal, it just wasn’t WOW. The wait staff was great and overall vibes were good.

    The experience was underwhelming. The service was bad for a top 100 restaurant. Server and waitress didn’t give the right attention to the customers. Very transactional. Felt being rushed by the waitress.

    We had chilled lobster, steak, mushrooms, loaded potatoes and cheesecake. It was all 10/10 and service was excellent. Cheyanne even made me a sangria which was not on the menu!

    I’m actually surprised on a Friday night it wasn’t impossible to get in… maybe it’s still one of the best kept secrets in the core

    We were there for Happy Hour, the server was very personable and made sure to take final orders before Happy Hour ended. The Prosciutto appetizer and Burger & fries were excellent! Emily at the front desk is also great.
