    Our server, Jessica, gave us the best service we have ever had at a restaurant. I requested champagne on the table when i made the reservation and noted that we were celebrating our elopement on Valentine’s Day. Not only was there a bottle of champagne but roses as well! The moment we walked in and gave our name we were congratulated by EVERY staff member. They made the whole evening so special for us all during a very busy dinner rush. The live music and atmosphere was perfect for a date night and the Valentine’s Day speciality cocktails added to the experience. 10/10. Will be returning again

    The atmosphere was extremely nice. The food was decent, but felt for the prices, it was less than excellent. The service was very good, and I will say it was very busy as it was Valentine’s Day.

    We went for Valentines Day because they advertised multiple seafood options. We went on a Friday. We asked the server where it is on current menu since menu is posted first walking in and a sign. She had no idea. Asked about specials, nothing but a chocolate cake for 2. The cook on the steak was Fantastic. The broccolini was disappointing. The mashed potatoes tasted like chain restaurant quality. It presents like fine dining but just barely over Longhorn Steakhouse quality with staff that less than impress. Wasn't bad, just don't see us returning. Also, the pricing should suggest a better public dress code. The place wants to charge fine dining but delivers chain quality

    The place was very empty. Maybe 3 other tables. Our service was very slow. Over 20 minutes to receive our first round of drinks. The Manhattans were made very poorly. It's disappointing at $17.50 a drink. The espresso martinis were also made with too much cream. We were deterred from ordering apps due to the slow service. Overall, the food was good. People enjoyed their steaks, chicken thighs, and salmon. The chicken picatta had very low quality chicken and a very runny/oily sauce. Would not recommend. A pianist played the entire time we were there. A bit loud for such an empty restaurant. Hopefully, the service can improve. Not worth the cost currently. Higher end pricing.
