    Amazing evening! Food was absolutely fabulous per usual. Morgan and Lauren I believe were our bartenders and they were hysterical! We had such a fun night and we can’t wait to be back!

    Food was very good! A little disappointed in the shrimp and crab bisque, it was loaded with carrots and other vegetables. Not at all what we were expecting. The Railcar burger was delicious and so was the chicken schnitzel! Definitely will come back.

    Great service! Wonderful food. Would definitely go again. We chose to share two appetizers which was the fig and prosciutto flatbread, crab cakes and then a huge carrot cake for dessert. All delicious

    They were very busy. We got an appetizer and NO plates. We didn't get our drinks and had to ask. Then they brought out all our soups, salads, and main entree, all at the same time We could hardly fit everything on the table. We had to ask for our plates to be cleared to get dessert. Then, one plate of dessert came out with cronuts. I made the comment to my friend that they forgot the strawberries on her dessert. Then I got my apple pie dessert, my husband and brother two their chocolate dessert. Then, finally, they came with the correct dessert with strawberries. I had to ask for my coffee three times. They really need to have extra staff to time when meals are coming out. I also had to ask for a steak knife to cut my Prime Rib. The Prime Rib was cooked perfectly, and the French Onion soup was perfect. All in all, the meal was a success, and your server Ryan was just darling. It was not his fault that service timing was off. The kitchen and other wait staff helping seemed confused bringing the food. Bravo to your chef for the food was delicious .It was worth the wait.
