    The restaurant decor and ambiance was great! The appetizers were good. The steak was plated very nicely, but the overall flavor was average.

    The atmosphere was calming, the tables far enough apart to feel secluded and background music was just enough to hear if you weren't talking but low enough not to intrude if you were having a conversation. We thought the service was spot on! Our waitress was attentive and caring when she was there and did NOT show up every 5 minutes, so we were most grateful for the time alone together over a delicious dinner for our anniversary.

    It's a nice space, food was solid, a little pricy for what you get.

    Great restaurant, we were in town and found it at the last minute and were able to get a table. The food and service were fantastic. The manager was kind enough to give us the building history and a brief tour of the hotel lobby upstairs. Highly recommend, next time we’re in town will definitely be back!

    I was greeted by the hostess and was quickly seated. My waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to give me advice on ordering from the menu on things I was unfamiliar with. We also had complimentary champagne. The atmosphere was also very elegant. I would definitely recommend for any special occasions.
