    The ambiance is moody and dark, with lighting in the appropriate areas. A hideaway spot that is the best kept secret. Will greeted and sat us at our table. Food was ABSOLUTELY delicious. I had the swellington that was cooked to medium perfection. My friends had the duck and crab cake, which they loved. The lobster mac and cheese was *insert chefs kiss*. Cocktails and brute satisfied our taste buds, and we left with our hearts full. Highly recommend and will be back.

    We’ve been coming here for our anniversary for the past three years. The food is top notch. Eye appeal of the food and the taste were perfection. See ya next year!

    Loved everything about this place. The wall next to our booth covered in vintage Star Wars plates, the fantastic server, the eerily quiet kitchen (I'm convinced they're telepathic), the absolutely perfect filet up to the candles in the bathroom. I will be hard pressed to find as perfect a dining experience as this one was. They made our 11th anniversary (at table 11 btw) a night to remember. Thank you

    We started with drinks. Throwing shade is great. They had a tuna appetizer that was amazing. The char and filet were also amazing. Never disappointed, we will be back.

    Good food, as always, but a little pricier than our last visit. We reserved ahead of time for a special occasion but the walk-in couple in front of us knew the hostess so they got our booth. A bit of a bummer. Overall, good, but not as great as our first time there. Prices have really increased!

    Excellent food and service as always. So much above other ‘fine dining’ in the area…$55 for massive filet in 2025 is a steal.

    Crab cake was delicious. Grilled wedge salad was good but well over priced. The host was excellent. She was well educated on all menu items and details given on how the cook prepared the items. Kudos to Susan
