    Great experience. The food was delicious and our server was friendly and attentive, but not intrusive. It was a little expensive, especially for Restaurant Week, but worth it we highly recommend Todd Jurich's

    We were there for restaurant week. Seated at 5:45pm and didn’t leave there until 8:20pm. Food was very slow to come out. Had a ribeye which was good but the potatoes were cold. Must of been a staff problem. Loved being there though. Will definitely return. Didn’t mind anything it was fun being there and the other guests made it more enjoyable.
