    I did not enjoy this restaurant the first time and the last time. We arrived early and we were seated at the back of the restaurant our table was by a filthy dirty dusty vent. Our waiter was nice but wasn't very attentive to us. We ate more bread than an actual meal. We didn't receive menus We had to ask for them. The ambiance of the restaurant was very dark and quiet. The waiter didn't even ask to refresh my drink. The filet mignon was tender and because it was so dark I don't even know if it's cooked. Overall it was not enjoyable I don't know if was because they were busy or what but will not come again.

    Was seated immediately and the service was excellent. Was a busy Valentine’s Day but they were very attentive. Excellent meal. A bit pricey but no more than expected. Our first time there but will not be our last.

    Great food and atmosphere, Our waiter was HORRIBLE!!!!!! We waited 20 plus minutes for menus while she serviced every other table. She forgot to put our order in and we waited 2 plus hours to be served and she messed our ticket up. 1/10

    Steaks were under cooked. Sent back and still under cooked. Salad was drenched in dressing. Couldn’t eat. Cheese balls tasted like saw dust. I told the water I was paying and was completely ignored. I guess because I am a woman. The manager did not make us pay for our food but it was awful.

    The food was excellent! Unfortunately, in our party of 8 multiple items were missing from our order and multiple drink orders were wrong. What arrived to the table was tasty, just not what we ordered. I think the servers may have been overwhelmed with their tables, twice someone came to ask if we needed to-go boxes or dessert but our main courses hadn’t come out yet. In the end, we had a lovely meal, and we weren’t in any rush. Thankfully everyone in our party had a good sense of humor and was flexible with their orders. We tipped well anyway, never know what was happening behind the scenes!
