    The food was ok, but the service was not really on par with our expectations, inattentive, didn't bring cutlery, no attention to the table, didn't really explain anything about the menu. Disappointing experience.

    Centrally located. The food was fabulous! Our waitress Jennifer was very helpful, explaining the menu since it was our first time in, without being overbearing. Will definitely recommend!

    We loved it here. Our food was prompt and delicious. Beer suggestion was on point. Our server was personable and knowledgeable but never invasive. 10/10 experience.

    We were on our way to the aronoff for a show so we split 3 appetizers. They were all very tasty. Our waitress was very nice and we enjoyed our experience here.

    Great apps. Bring. A group of 4 or more and order them all. Can’t go wrong. Also a big fan of the bone in ribeye. Great flavor.

    There is something so satisfying about a large plate of delicious assorted meats and a glass of scotch. Good times.

    Dined on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was not busy. The service was excellent and the food was top notch. I’d definitely go back again and try other items on the menu. Gnocchi was awesome!
