We went in for dinner and decided to get drinks and apps in house and take our meal to go. The drinks were very good. The price point is great unfortunately when we got home, there was hair in our steak and the sweet potato hash was undercooked and overcooked all at the same time. The food was heated for exactly 1 minute on medium, so I’m sure it wasn’t the microwaves fault. I wouldn’t count them out, but I would definitely order differently next time.

I went here for my Dads bday dinner and wasn’t too impressed with the food and the ambiance was okay. All of our entrees came out like warm and drinks aren’t that great. Maybe this place is good for larger parties but it want a great experience for us.

My husband and I went here for a pre-Valentine's day dinner. The atmosphere was great for conversation. It started with wonderful wine selections and progressed to amazing food. I loved the crab dip and the salmon, and the cheesecake was to die for! The service was excellent as well. I feel that everyone in the room was paying attention to clearing our plates and our server Curtis didn't leave us wanting anything. He was also very pleasant and had great recommendations. I will be back to try their wine tasting evenings, since the wine was so good tonight.
