    The service and food were all 10/10. Justin was great, so was supporting staff and nothing we ate (and we ordered A LOT! The charcuterie board, gumbo, pork cheeks, arancini, crab omelette, shrimp and grits, cocktails like the Left Shark, Pear drink, you NAME IT) wasn’t DELICIOUS. This was for brunch so definitely coming back for dinner and just making this a frequent spot. Loved it!

    We arrived a few minutes early and was seated at our reservation time. Waiter came right over to introduce himself and discuss drinks. We ordered a sidecar and a glass of rosè. For food we ordered the mardi gras shrimp (8/10), caesar salad (9/10), gumbo (10/10), broiled red snapper (9/10), lamb chops (10/10), seafood mac and cheese (7/10), & baked potato (6/10). Food came out pretty quick and was hot. Overall, food was good especially the gumbo and lamb chops. The food is a bit pricey but for a special occasion its worth it.

    The food was fabulous. If you want good service with a great steak come here. We sat at the piano bar and had a wine prior to dinner the piano player was exception both playing and singing. We started with the chopped salad that had a really good Italian dressing.. My husband and I had the bone in ribeye with a loaded baked potato with sautéed onion and mushrooms. Was scrumptious. Highly recommend. It has an old school steak house feel. Very dark and sexy atmosphere. The service was outstanding. .

    This is a little gem. While not impressed by the atmosphere when when we walked in, I quickly warmed to it because the wait staff were friendly and attentive without being overly present and the noise level was tolerable and the restaurant has a surprisingly intimate feel despite the fact that we were seated next to the bar, which was not loud. Everyone was happy with their entree, which include the braised rabbit, beef short rib, and a very lightly battered flounder filet that was not at all overly breaded or overcooked. Dessert was fabulous as well, and we found a nice bottle of Montalcino wine for $65.
