Sommelier Selections

Thanks to the Coravin System, we now have the freedom to pour a single glass of wine from any bottle without opening it. This system protects the wine from oxidation using Coravin's proprietary technology, which leaves the cork in place while the wine is poured. This system gives us the ability to share some finer wines you wouldn't typically find by the glass. Below are our selections we would like to share with you; all pours are six ounces

We Chose B&B to celebrate my son’s college graduation. Steaks were great but my daughter found a hair in her pasta halfway through her meal. Not very appetizing. They did take the cost of the pasta off the bill.

This restaurant caters to steak and oysters. The steaks were prepared perfectly, good quality and presentation on the oysters. Particularly enjoyed our cocktails, the ambiance in the bar and personal but professional wait staff. However, the fish and cooked seafood were disappointing. Salmon was a thin, frozen filet - overcooked and with a high price. Scallops medium-sized, not large or diver, but expensive. Mac and cheese (orzo), disappointing. No lamb chops available. Shared a couple desserts - enjoyable.

The scallops were too salty, has a long wait for food to be served, server was out to lunch, asked multiple times for lemon and kept forgetting, soda was flat, the shrimp cocktail was pathetic, they were small shrimp, mother's food was terrible had to order lobster for my mom another 30 minutes so we did not even get to eat together cause I was done already, the dessert's were small and overpriced. I had reservations for 7:00 pm had to wait for 20 minutes and told by staff it's been a long day. Really? It's our Mother's Day out. Not the same, it used to be my favorite restaurant, not anymore.

Ordered a Cesar salad as an appetizer server didn’t come back for over 30 mins . We didn’t order entrees and when she came back she took it as the salad was our meals . Took over an hour to get bread . We finally got our meals ordered and waited a while for that … came out with our food missing one of our sides because they ran out and never came out to tell us they ran out . They offered another side AFTER our steaks came out . We denied because we didn’t want to wait forever for it to come as we did everything else . The server didn’t provide us with welcoming vibes . I wish I picked somewhere else for my Mother’s Day dinner . I expected way more from an upscale restaurant

We had a delicious and expensive meal and everything was cooked to order. My husband and I love the shrimp cocktail normally so upon ordering we ordered one extra one to split. The shrimp were smaller than normal and not worth the price. We feel because we ordered an extra order of it that they short changed us on the size of the shrimp used instead of ensuring they were really good sized BECAUSE we ordered an extra one. We told the waitress we were disappointed and all she said was "I don't think we've changed the size of the shrimp we use." Nothing was taken off of the bill and no apology was provided. Next time we will return to another local steakhouse instead.

Nice atmosphere and attentive workers but a bit of a rip off. Decent portion on Mixed Green Salad but cucumbers cut into minuscule slivers and just a few grape tomatoes cut in half. Steak and salmon both good but for the price it should include at least one side instead of having to pay $8-$12 for each. Passed on dessert, over $10 for each. Also, why bother to have customer indicate a birthday on the online reservation website if it won’t be celebrated in any way by servers or staff?

Celebrating an anniversary. Round of drinks at the bar, and dinner. We were given a complimentary Champagne (2 glasses) for the occasion. I always get the filet, and it was excellent, and our server Catina was excellent as well. My wife had the snapper, and she enjoyed it. One comment is on the cocktail sauce we had with the shrimp was very bland and boring, and I know that is a personal preference, but it was a step above ketchup. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable meal.

Wife and I went out for Anniversary. We were sat at a small table between two other tables that were very close together and no privacy. Couple we sat next to immediately got quiet when we sat down and we felt uncomfortable having any type of private conversation ourselves. It wasn’t crowded at first, so it was quiet, which exasperated the awkwardness. Food and service were great but the fact that we felt like we were sitting on top of the other couples next to us brought down the overall experience. Would have preferred more private booths or stand-alone table over benched cafeteria-like tables. Great place for work outing or group dinner but not for intimate date night imo.

Everything was spot on except the hostess. We had reservations and arrived 40 minutes early to have a cocktail. Checked in we we arrived and went to the bar. When it was time to sit she gave us nothing but attitude..as if we just walked in off the street. The only thing preventing a 5 star review is the hostess.

This is a fairly typical up market steakhouse. It is usually busy and seems very popular. We were sat quite promptly (had a reservation). It took a little while to be greeted by a trainee waiter. We were not given a bottle wine list initially (a bit surprising for this type of restaurant. The waiter/sommelier arrived and supplied one and made recommendations. The starters - tuna tartare and calamari were excellent. (We have also had the wagyu meatballs which are also excellent). There was a long gap between starters and mains. Steaks were overall good but not outstanding. One (filet) came out medium when medium rare was ordered. Lamb rack was very good. Desserts were good. Overall very pleasant but not as good as expected for the price. It was quite noisy

Went for my birthday with my wife and two small children. Note: we know they don’t have a children’s menu and that’s fine. The service was outstanding. I forget the waiters name but he was top notch. Very personable. I was a bit disappointed in the steaks as they were over cooked. My wife and I ordered our steaks medium rare. They were more like medium plus. My kids steaks were ordered medium. They were more like well. We didn’t complain as they were still very good The drinks were good too. They also made the children very welcome even though this is definitely a fine dining establishment. All in all a good experience
