    Had a reservation for months on graduation day at Purdue. Got to the restaurant and it is closed permanently. I did not get any notification of this.

    Made a reservation for graduation weekend. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for good!! Was not notified by Open Table or the restaurant. Very disappointed but had to laugh that the restaurant was boarded up. At least my kid is now a college graduate

    The blue cheese crumbles I had on my steak we're very overpowering and the steak was very dry. Our waiter was really good and the drinks also.

    I asked for my sirloin steak to be cooked medium well. Steak was very thin, overcooked and very dry. Waitress asked if she could get me another one and at the time I said no. I have heard stories about what happens when you send your food back. My friend had the same meal hers was perfect. Her steak was much thicker than mine. Salad and green beans were good although very skimpy on green beans. Service was excellent. Although I would not recommend that meal to anyone the restaurant was nice.

    The server took too long getting or drink orders back to us from the bar. The food was very good.
