    Great Restaurant in the CBD, our server Samuel did a great job and the food was incredible. Best prime rib I have had in a long time. The puffed corn casserole was the best and it may be hard but save room for dessert! Will definitely return.

    My main server was lovely. However a different male server who delivered our dessert was very sassy to me when I made an inquiry about it. I did not need attitude at the price we weee paying.

    The food was great. The service was excellent, but it’s always a tad bit too noisy for conversation.

    Our server Samuel was fabulous. Drinks were great, prime Rib was excellent as was the puffed corn casserole. Brussels sprouts were a little hard. Overall we loved it. Ambience and decor were wonderful.

    The Bon Ton never disappoints. From the jumbo lump crab meat salad, onion rings and fillet everything was done to perfection and was absolutely delicious. I love the old school clubby atmosphere. Already looking forward to my next dinner there.

    Brooke, our server, was excellent. A really nice touch is the martini shaker at the table! the noise level was unacceptable, including not only the super-loud 6-top next to us, but the "hard rock" music thundering in the background. Not what we wanted for an upscale date-night place at all. One of those two would be bad enough, but together, it was unpleasant. Definitely won't spend the money there again even though the food was very good.
