    Loud table of 3 in same room but our waiter asked if we were ok and we said yes but honestly would have been nice if that table was not there. The Bartender downstairs was rude and then lied to us to tell us that we would be told when our table was ready so we sat for an hour waiting and when we finally asked about our table we were told it was ready an hour ago. AND he didn’t ask what bourbon my man preferred and with the 2nd drink made it with the wrong bourbon again. Spent a lot of money and probably won’t again at this restaurant. John and Steven were amazing though. Wonderful, funny Irishmen who are very good at what they do.

    We went on a Saturday evening to celebrate my husband birthday. From the moment we entered the building, til the moment we left, we had a remarkable experience. All the staff very professional, pleasant and with a smile on their faces. The ambiance in the restaurant perfect for the event. Very good, soft music in the background. An intimate setting, only few tables. The 2 gentlemen who served us were very knowledgeable, the suggestion for the pairing wines was perfect. Their personalities added a pleasant touch to the evening. And talking about food, the fixed menu was absolutely perfect.
