Food was good but certain accompaniments were vastly over priced. $24 for 2 quarter sized scallops was over the top. The house “Old Fashion” left something to be desired. The filet was good, you could tell it was dry aged but desperately needed salt and pepper before cooking. My wife’s Salmon was good and the charcuterie board was good. Ambiance was generally quiet and easy to hold a conversation.

Presentation was excellent, but the overall good quality was "just OK". My lobster bisque was watery and had no lobster, the corn had no flavor and the bacon was raw. We had the bread presentation and that was great, my bone in ribeye was very good, but my wife's fish was just OK.

We were extremely disappointed in this restaurant. We came here for a nice meal and left saying this was the worst steak/meal we have had. We ordered the tomahawk steak to share and we were HIGHLY disappointed. The presentation was beautiful but that was the only good thing about it. The steak was so bland and was so tough. We have never had a steak with such little flavor; there was no butter nor salt on this steak. We tried to add table salt to see if that would help but it wasn’t. We had to ask our server for a sauce that we were charged $4 for to even make this steak edible. We waited 5 minutes for a tiny side of sauce to even proceed to eat the steak again. Even with the sauce, it was still the worst steak we have ever had. For a steak over $100, we expected at least some butter and salt on top. We have never had a steak that was medium rare but tasted as if it was well done. We are not ones to complain and love businesses to thrive but sadly, we do not recommend this restaurant in the slightest. In short: DO NOT GET THE TOMAHAWK STEAK!

We really enjoyed the great service along with excellent dry age steaks, but the Lamb lollipops were amazing. Great place to splurge a bit.
