We had our holiday company party here. And everything was excellent. From the bartender, the waitress and the managers.
The food is absolutely amazing, I would recommend fasting for the day before you come here!

Restaurant is poorly laid out and was very noisy. It was hard for us to enjoy the experience and we felt cramped eating and getting up to get food.

Had reservations but had to wait. Meats were limited, we were passed over several times with the experience we paid for. Beverages did not come before meals, we saw our server 3 times during a 2 hour seating.

We had reservations at 8:15 but didn’t get seated for about an hour after that.
Food was good, not great. Restaurant is over crowded and makes it a little uncomfortable. We didn’t get all the meats that were in the $72 meal.
Dessert took about 15 mins to come out. Server was good, but ended up charging our card to the wrong table. That took about another 15 mins to fix.
We were in the restaurant for 2 hours and 15 mins. Way too long. Probably won’t go back.
