"I went with a group of 5 other friends and family, none of us had eaten there before. We were all very hopeful after looking at the menu. We ordered 3 appetizers, salads, and entrees. My cousin ordered a $400 bottle of wine for the table which the waiter corked when opening. The 3 appetizers were in serious need of flavor, or just salt for that matter. Most everyone at the table ordered a steak and when they arrived they were all pre sliced and very dry. Any chef should know never to cut the meet as you will loose all the juices. When the check came we were shocked to find an auto grat of 20%!!! We are not opposed to auto grat, but 20% is a bit high for bland food, dry meat, and corked wine. That was harder to swallow than the food."

"We loved it! Our first visit and we will definitely be back. Food was wonderful and loved that you could make your own wine flights. Waitress was so attentive and friendly! We were just planning to eat dinner but we stayed for dave on the piano who was very fun. Such a great experience. Can't wait to go back"

"Main entree was good but appetizers were not good at all. Hummus was awful and the bread in the bread basket ( when we finally got it) was very hard, almost stale."
