    First off the staff was absolutely amazing from the way we weee treated by the valet to the hostess and the wait staff. They made us feel like our comfort and enjoyment was their utmost importance. The food what can I say my steak was perfect right off the grill well seasoned and cooked to perfection no accoutrements necessary. Relaxing atmosphere and an amazing experience. Thank you for making our anniversary special!!

    The food and the people who delivered our food were great. We had one issue of note. Two of us ordered a wine called Montepulchano (probably misspelled) which had a cost of $12 per glass. When the bill arrived, we were charged $28. When I questioned our waiter, he told us that they ran out of this wine and they gave us a different wine which cost $14 per glass. I didn't argue with him but in hindsight, I should have requested to see a manager. My bad.

    Waited a while at the table before a server came. Food had to be sent back because it was cold. Server was just too busy to assist us when needed. Super disappointed

    Been here many times and always very good. This time everything was good except the Wellington. I have had this before and it was great. This time it tasted very gamey. Not sure what it was but it wasn’t good. I didn’t make a big deal. Everything else was great. Maybe just an off night with the Wellington.
