    I had the filet with peppercorn sauce and my husband had the filet with cognac sauce and both were excellent. The filet was tender, cooked perfectly to order and full of flavor. The crème brûlée for dessert was delicious as well. It was the perfect anniversary celebration dinner!

    First time visiting this restaurant and we've lived in the area all of our lives. The ambiance was great- cozy, intimate, great for a date night. The front of house and bar staff were very friendly and customer oriented. Actual food service was a little slow, but they were slammed. The waitstaff were again, very nice and accomodating, and made up for the slowness. The food was average at best, and for the price, it just wasn't worth it. It's too bad as this place has everything else going for it.

    We sat in the outdoor garden area and a singer/songwriter was playing great music. He was very good!

    This place is amazing! The food and drinks were fantastic. Each of us ordered a different main dish, and none of them disappointed. The Lemon Drop Martinis were the best we've ever had. It was a little loud since there was a party in the back room, but overall, the atmosphere was great. Our server was quite busy with the party and didn't have much time for us, so it would have been nice if they had assigned us to the other server, who only had two tables during our visit. She would have had plenty of time to assist us. We will definitely be back!!

    Always a great experience. Service and food are excellent. My daughter has a severe dairy allergy and they were able to accommodate her safely.
