    We had a 7:30 reservation and I checked beforehand the restaurant closes at 10, so we expected to have a relaxed two and a half hour dinner. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. We sat down and ordered the ravioli. It was just okay not bad, but definitely nothing special. The flavor wasn’t what I had hoped for. After dinner, things got odd. Even though it wasn’t even 9 yet, the hostess kept coming by every couple of minutes asking if we wanted dessert. We said we were still deciding, but she came back again and again it honestly became a little comical. We finally said no, just because we felt pressured, and she immediately brought the check. By 9 p.m., the staff was already cleaning up and clearly wrapping up for the night. We felt rushed out, even though we still had an hour before closing time. Overall, the food was mediocre, and the experience felt rushed and uncomfortable. Definitely not a place I’d go back to or crave again.

    First time here. Very pleasantly surprised!!! Menu variety was nice, food was delicious. Our table ordered the Filet, Pork Tenderloin , Halibut, and the Rack of Lamb. All were delicious and well portioned. We also ordered the gnocchi and tuna appetizers which were very tasty . I Had a great drink that was served with a bubble that popped and smoke billowed around the glass, the sweet fruit scent that filled the air was fun! We'll definitely be back.

    Food and service was very good. Fantastic bourbon and whiskey selection. Room felt very tight and congested with many tables in a small room; noise level was pretty high as a result.

    I had the octopus salad, but it was very salty and not like it used to be. The onion rings were not the same either. Our guest had hamburgers and they said they were very good.
