    First time dining here, our server Mike (Micah) was wonderful. He really paid attention to us, knowing we are celebrating our anniversary. He made our day feel very special. The food was great and we will definitely return.

    Food was excellent with small exception of they should’ve steamed the mussels a little longer to open easier. The bar service was S L O W. I’m good with a newbie shadow-wait person, but the trainer then, should be top-notch instead of just good.

    Our first visit and we had an excellent experience. Reserved table ahead of time and was greeted by first name upon arriving (a nice touch!). Our server, Rebecca, was very personable and welcoming. Very responsive. The manager, Byron, visited our table to ensure everything was up to their quality standard. An excellent experience. We intend to visit again!

    I expected a higher quality of food and service. We were going to choose Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and I wish we had. Food wasn’t visually appealing and it wasn’t warm/hot.

    My wife and I had an early dinner before a recent Reds game. Crab cakes should be called shredded crab because it was void of any lumps of crab. My fries were cold and the crab cakes on the cool side. My wife hade Salmon and shrimp, along with mashed potatoes and spinach. She loved the mashed potatoes, the rest of her dinner was flavorless. The place was empty so slow service and cold food was a shock. I should have sent my meal back immediately but we had been there a hour and a half already. The bill came to $110.00. Save your money, and especially don’t take a date here, it may be your last date, it will certainly be your last time there.
