We had a great experience for dinner! Our server was very friendly and helpful. All of the food we ordered was amazing! Crab cake, wedge salad, 8oz filet, 14 oz ribeye, garlic mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, cheesecake and the cocktails were awesome! We’ve gone to high end steaks houses and this place was comparable if not better! Very pleased!

there was a large group in the middle of the place. They were loud, used profanity, I thought I was at a sports bar. The table of 2 next to us was celebrating there anniversary and nobody could hear each other talk across the table. It would have been nice if someone with authority told them to keep it down, but instead they apologized to the rest of the restaurant as they left.

This was our first time to try the place and very bad experience. We made a reservation months ago and had confirmation. Upon arriving - the host seemed confused and the table we were originally taken to was already occupied. Got seated at another table. We had a PILE of dirty dishes left on the table the entire meal. Nobody ever picked up any of our dishes from appetizer to salad to meal. Had to ask multiple times for water as service never offered water. Ordered cocktails and would have had more - but server never asked us if we wanted another round. For a meal that cost over $300 for the 4 of us - this was a terrible experience. Won't be back and will definitely share with any of my friends to stay away. Better places to spend money than this place.
