    Came here last year and was super good, came back this year and it honestly just isn’t worth it. They were out of 2 things I ordered, the food was under seasoned and underdone. the Cesar salad was good and the drinks as well! Overall I just think you can go somewhere else and get better food for the price.

    Made a reservation weeks in advance only to arrive and have no table ready. They then offered to sit us upstairs, on the way there a gentleman told the hostess that we can't sit up there, we were then taken back to the hostess stand where we waited approximately a total of 11 minutes past our reservation time. Once seated it took about 10 more minutes before our waiter came over to give us water and take our drink order, then roughly the same to bring our drinks. The food was decent but definitely underseasoned. Would consider going back but probably at the bar where the service seemed faster.

    My food was really good, I ordered the stuffed mushrooms, iceberg wedge salad, and the salmon entree everything was delicious! The service could have been better, it took a while for the bartender to take for my order, she never took the empty plates. (I sat at the bar so it wasn’t much space) I did have a bunch of flies flying around my food. Also I don’t drink there wasn’t a mocktail option on the menu.

    The food here is amazing! I had oyster rockerfeller appetizer with the filet and shrimp for an entrée. The steak was extremely tender and cooked perfectly. The drinks were good as well. The server, Will was friendly but not as attentive as we expected. We often had to wait for drinks and water and did not bring my lobster bisque until after we received our meals. Overall, decent food and I would try again.

    Unbelievably expensive for what you get! Plan on about $100/person w-tip if you go. I ordered the chicken parm, it was horrible and tasted like it was made a few days ago and warmed up. Very disappointed DO NOT order the chicken parm trust me. Service was good, ambiance was nice.

    Seafood dishes were all fishy. Octopus was tough and chewy. Steak was cooked right-on Food was fine, not great. Drinks were delish Keep in mind that if there is an event, downtown, valet parking will be $40! What?
