    Dinner and drinks were awesome as usual! Our sever Jeannie was attentive and very friendly. My wife and I usually have the hot brown, which is to die for, but this time we decided to try something different. She had the roasted chicken and I had the steak frites. Both were awesome! We started by sharing the farmers salad which is always fantastic. Oh, and as usual, the Manhattans were the bomb!

    Our server, Kris, was awesome and he took great care of us. He was knowledgeable about the restaurant, the food, and made wonderful recommendations! If you can, request to be in his section. The food was perfect, the drinks were tasty, and the live piano music added to the whole experience. Excellent dinner.
