    Well-crafted cocktails. Oysters were excellent. Food on par with a very nice steakhouse. Everything cooked as we orderedGreat service from all staff, especially our primary server. Attentive but not intrusive. We skipped dessert but the menu had attractive options.

    Very enjoyable meal of steak, and the fire roasted oysters were excellent as well. We loved the popovers for bread (we are Mainiacs) and our appetizer and vegetables were tasty. Dylan was an excellent server. My only suggestion has to do with the coffee cups, I think you could find something that holds the heat a bit more and more aesthetically pleasing.

    My Server Alexus had memorable and great customer service, she definitely is a part of the experience. The food was good and the ambiance was a vibe. The floor manager in the Grey suit also had great customer service. Will be coming back.

    Unfortunately our first experience was not a memorable one. Our waiter was not very experienced. Forgot to ask about the bread and sides when we ordered our entrees. My wife’s fish was over salted. My lamb was excellent, so we ended up sharing it. Was hesitant to try dessert. We will probably try it again at future time, but will definitely stick with a steak or lamb entree.
