    Helpful and professional waitress. Appetizers and dessert were wonderful. I wasn't happy with my steak and the manager just reassured me that it was the cut of steak I'd ordered instead of making it right. Not a great first impression. It was noisier and there were more children in the restaurant that I'd have expected, but we were there earlier than we'd normally have dinner because of a tour we had scheduled for afterwards, so maybe it's a more grown-up atmosphere later in the evenings.

    First visit. Wonderful meal. Appetizers, cocktails, entrees & dessert all outstanding. We were there on a surprisingly busy summer Wednesday night. 1st & 2nd floors appeared full, can’t say about 3rd. Noise level was high but tolerable. Wait staff knowledgeable, professional, and prompt. A very good experience.

    I had my mind set on the sea bass but then heard the special and decided on that. I wish I stuck with my first choice. I also got the fried green tomatoes which were really good. The waitstaff was very good and professional. I would try again, but maybe get the steak.

    This was a great first time experience. The food was outstanding and the service was outstanding as well. The cost was manageable for the event we was there for. I would come back for special occasions.
