    Excellent food and service. Very attentive wait staff. 1/2 off bottle of wine before 6. Had steak bites(very tender) and catfish with grits. Too full for dessert. We will definitely go back soon.

    The board with variety of steak was perfect for our group. The food was delicious and the service was great. Prajna and Victoria kept us well taken care of. The wine list and bourbon options were perfect and paired well. We finished off with a variety of desserts and they were all delightful!!! We will be back.

    Had to wait to be seated even with a reservation, the food and drink were good but overpriced, the ambience was just okay.

    This was our first time here and it was amazing! The host and hostess were courteous and professional. Our server was amazing and personable. The espresso martini is top notch! The food was delicious. The best steak I’ve ever had! We went on Valentine’s Day weekend and it was super busy. Everything ran great, food was cooked perfectly, and the overall experience was perfect. We will definitely be back!

    Due to having reservations, our wait was less than 5 minutes. The waitress was nice and accommodating, the food was good, but not great. I had to remind the waitress to check on our soup because it took longer than expected. As soon as we received our soups, less than 5 minutes, our entrees were brought to the table. I could not enjoy my soup because we didn’t want our entrees to get cold. Other than that, we enjoyed the experience. We will most likely visit again to try other items on the menu.

    This food is sooooooooo damn good it makes no sense at all . I'm typing this as I'm waiting on my To go boxes because it was so well portioned and flavorful. We will be back for sure I'm just mind blown because this was on the wimp because everything else was booked and we were worried if we were going to like it and it's definitely worth the money and 20 min drive

    Our server was not very attentive and did not effectively manage the timing of our service. Additionally, they failed to stay on top of communication with the kitchen, which resulted in one dish being sent back as it was not gluten-free. The food overall was good. For a regular date it would be okay, but this is definitely not a place you want to come for an intimate upscale meal.
