    Out dining experience started with a Crab cake. Then, we both had the Bourbon glazed salmon with mashed potatoes. I also enjoyed the Brussels sprouts. All the food we ate was absolutely delicious! The table next to us encouraged me to order a strawberry lemon drop, which was perfect. Our server Skylar was very knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. We definitely recommend this restaurant and will come back.

    The reviews about the service were absolutely correct. The food was great, prices were a little high for the service experience. I wouldn’t go again.

    Server was nice but not well trained in wine service, presented our bottle of wine but didn't offer me to taste just poured and ask if we wanted 6 oz or 9 oz pour,?.. halibut was prepared well but I added the crab and sauce topping, it was bland and almost no sauce, same with pork chop, nicely cooked and prepared but quite dry and again no sauce, I expect more from a $90 check avg, don't expect us to return :(

    Our server was not very attentive. We were served our appetizer and he left, didn’t offer to take our meal order. He came back about 5 minutes later later and we said we would like to order now. Overall not impressed with his service. Not sure of his name.

    Our group of 7 was seated promptly for our dinner reservation. Unfortunately we waited 45 minutes for one bar drink and water refills. Next round took quite a while and server messed up presentation on smoked whiskey. She had more tables than she could handle. We waited another 35 minutes for appetizers so immediately ordered dinner. Steak and seafood was good. Service sub par. Parking is very difficult if there are other events downtown and no valet service.

    A very dissatisfying experience. Went to celebrate our son’s college graduation and had a miserable night. We ordered our drinks and didn’t receive them until 45 minutes later. My dirty martini tasted like pure vermouth and our food was served around the hour mark. Although the steaks and tuna were great, the mashed potatoes and broccoli were cold. I wouldn’t waste your money there.

    Cocktails were very late in arriving. Came after we were served our salad. First, they brought us the wrong order. When they finally brought us our drinks I had to send my drink back. I ordered an old fashioned. It was awful. We both had salmon and it was nothing special. I expected better.
