Jeff our waiter was phenomenal, he did not rush us and was very pleasant . He had a great energy and enjoyed what he did and it showed . He made the night ! Food was excellent and speciality drinks and turtle soup were amazing ! Great table too . Room was loud when filled, hard to hear at our table ; suggest some type of ceiling dampers to decrease noise level for a better fine dining experience .

It all started with Jason, our server. He made the experience easy and amazing throughout! The drinks (old fashion) and the salad starters (get the Caeser!) were 5 stars! Make Tana on your rotation and enjoy the atmosphere!

Amazing brunch we loved the pancake egg hash sausage skillet - it should be added to the menu. Great service and shout out to Thea and our waitress whose name I didn’t get. She was fun and friendly and just great. Toups never disappoints.
