Such a great date night experience for my wife and me. The food was absolutely amazing. I loved the Forrest mushroom fillet. It was so delicious and the meat practically melted in my mouth. The potatoes and asparagus sides were prepared equally with as much attention to detail as the steak. The wait staff was quick and attentive. I will 100% be dining there again.

We were disappointed with the lack of menu options. The taste of the food was just so so. The worst part of the meal was the incredibly loud wedding party. We couldn’t even hear to talk to each other. Definitely will not return.

This restaurant in a vintage hotel is a favorite because of the atmosphere in a beautifully-decorated space, and wonderful food cooked to perfection. The drinks were great, as the bar is right in the restaurant, and we did not have a long wait for drinks or food on a Thursday night at 6:15.

This is a sad hotel restaurant with bad service. There were only 2 servers who were either overworked or undertrained. We never got our drinks until after our food came. I received the wrong size salad and was told I wouldn’t be charged for the larger salad. I was. We were told after such slow service and not getting our drinks, they would comp us dessert. They did not. The decor is nice but there are random parts of the restaurant that are not finished or not used, like a stage area with seat cushions stacked up. The scallop appetizer was ok but the risotto was very mushy and lacked flavor. The caesar salad was covered in cheap store bought croutons. I will not be returning.

We came to eat before a Broadway at The Adler show. We were seating timely, received a token for complimentary parking, and was greeted with a smile. The drinks and food were both delicious. The menu was not updated online so I was not able to order what I was wanting, but the item I decided to order was worth it. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

My husband had to send his steak back twice. It was undercooked and cold. Both of our side dishes were Luke warm. They did bring us more hot potatoes. Very disappointing We sat at the bar before dinner and had great service and drinks. Bartender was great. The atmosphere was very pleasant

Special occasion sent us to this fabulous eatery. Medallions of beef were the best meat I've had in a long time, and it should be as the entrees are pricey. Gorgeous room, excellent service, decent wine choices. The desserts were outstanding.
