"Our service was very slow. The crab cakes were very good, the salmon not so much. We were going to get dessert but it took about an hour to get our entree and we had tickets for Kauffman so we didn't get to try the carrot cake. It took about 20 minutes from the time we sat at our table to get our wine. Our server was preoccupied with another group next to us. The bartender finally brought it and we ordered our appetizer from him to get things going."

"Had a fabulous Birthday with friends. Perfect setting and wonderful menu. Everything was cooked to perfection. Thank you so very much for allowing us to bring our own special wine for a very reasonable corkage fee.
You helped us celebrate a very special evening. We will return!"

"What a beautifully restored building. It is wonderful to just look around at the different rooms. Our waiter was friendly, and knowledgable when asked questions about the menu and the building. Our food was great. The Ribeye I had was probably the best I have ever had. Perfectly marbled, seasoned, and cooked. My husband's lamb was very good too, but I definitly scored the best entree. I am so glad I saved room for dessert. The tiaramisu and the cremebrule were fabulous. It is expensive, but worth an occasional splurge."

"Food was excellent! From the time we got there and checked in with the hostess we felt very uncomfortable. The hostess sat us in the bar without even asking if that was ok with us. When paying this much for dinner I don't believe we should be sitting in a loud bar, while having to hear the bartender tell his friends at the bar how the restaurant fired someone for feeding a homeless person. The service was mediocre at best. This was definitely the worst and most likely last time we visit this restaurant."

"Liked-a little to quiet and mundane/funeral like music. Could use a little more "hip/trendy" update for my dining style. Maybe not so many tablecloths on the table (looked like bed sheets)FOOD AND SERVICE WERE EXCELLENT!"

"Wonderful Easter Brunch. Located in an old grade school that was built in the 1930 circa and with an added feature. That being a wonderful antique and gift shop on the first floor. The food and presentation along with the wait staff make you look forward to your next visit. It is so nice to get away from the chain restuarant's and their inability to be flexable."
