    Our server Meg slayed. She was very knowledgeable about the menu, and we loved everything she recommended.

    Took my wife and mother to MDRD for their birthday and they put a nice card saying happy birthday on the table which was nice. I thought in the end they could have given them a little dessert (even if it’s some whip cream on a cookie I don’t care). They just gave us the check and that was it. I understand it’s not always standard I just thought on a 300 dollar bill they could afford a small bday token to make it feel like a special night. Was quite disappointed with that. Good food though which is was matters the most.

    I had a business dinner here with colleagues from Europe. The service was excellent and flexible to special requests. Our server even asked and remembered each our names. We were given a table with an excellent view of the river. Dinner was excellent, especially the venison was outstanding.

    Wow, just wow. My wife and I both agreed they didn't miss on one single thing. Drinks. Apps. Meal. All were unbelievable! All of this and the view on top of it make it worth the price of admission and more.

    Everything we tried tonight was lovely and we had exceptional service! This was our first time coming in, we celebrated my husband’s birthday and he is quite happy too with how the evening turned out. He especially enjoyed his chocolate cheesecake dessert!

    The Ibarico Chuletero (pork chops) were so-o-o good. Our server, "Terrance" (aka Little T), was so helpful in describing the menu items. And the sunset this evening... :-) Thank you!
