    Excellent experience for a special occasion. The service was very good (which says a great deal in the current restaurant employment struggles). Food was great. It is pricey, as expected, but they don’t rush your experience and they make sure you are getting what you want. Btw… the pompano special (yes…at a steak house) was incredible!

    Service was impeccable. Food quality and taste was exceptional, especially the turtle soup and crabcakes. Completely unexpected and I'm being a bit judgmental here because I'm basing my judgement on some of the finishes in the restaurant. They were a little cheesy like the water fountain champagne bottle as you enter and the chandelier as well as some of the other lighting. The lighting was all so different -- different styles and colors, etc. Also, the play list wasn't what I would have expected from a restaurant with such amazing food & staff. I would have expected that play list in a pub. Anyway, next time I'm in Covington, I will definitely to back.

    We went for Mother’s Day. I ordered the soft shell crab off of the special menu. When the dish came out the green beans were ice cold like they had just come out of the refrigerator and the cheese grits and soft shell crab were room temperature at best. I rarely send back food but had to with this one. To be fair the manager came over and was very apologetic and removed the dish from our bill.

    Service was really good and they were very friendly. Food took awhile because they dropped one of our steaks on the floor and had to recook the steak. Then when they did bring out the food, they cooked the wrong steak that I ordered so it had to go back and they had to cook the right steak that I ordered. It came out very fast and the plate was so hot I burned my fingers on the plate trying to move it. Overall it was good but just a little disappointed.
