    Waited an hour for mediocre food. All staff catering a large “well to do” party, ignoring all other diners. Outrageous prices. Maybe they were just having a bad night but we won’t be back!!

    We were acknowledged less than a minute of arrival, waitstaff was very cordial, our table was next to a window so we had a fantastic view. Our salads were delish could’ve used a tad more dressing, our ribeyes were not cooked correctly - I ordered Med rare it came out Medium with edges well done, my husband ordered medium the edges were well done the middle was almost raw. For $70 you’d expect better. We were offered one free dessert. Last month when we were there I ordered the Trout and it was very bland no flavor. The place is great please make sure your chef is up to par!

    Our service was incredible! They even gave us a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate our anniversary. Overall, it was a nice experience. My wife and I both were not thrilled with the steaks. We wish we would have tried a different dish.

    This restaurant is absolutely amazing! I took my girlfriend here for Valentine’s Day, and we were promptly seated with excellent service. We ordered the steaks for dinner with a bottle of wine, and I will say you are definitely getting what you’re paying for. I will be coming back to this place in the future!

    We waited 2 hours for our food, we was about to leave and then the food came, 2 other table left. Food is very pricey. Waitress was excellent if it wasn’t for her we would have left sooner
