    Oysters Rockefeller opener was very tasty. Had pork chop special. It was cooked perfectly. Special cheesecake for dessert was top-notch. Our server, Tyler, couldn't have been nicer and very accommodating. This place is always busy, so it says alot about how they treat customers. Several staff members thanked us for coming on way out. Always friendly. Great experience. Highly recommended if you've not been. Their menu is one page, so not a big selection. But, they prepare it all perfectly and specials are usually my first choice.

    We had a reservationfor 4:30 PM, at The Crown Tavern and we requested a booth as I have a bad knee. There was no one in the restaurant, and they didn’t have a full booth, so I requested a table for four so we could have more room. They said that they could not accommodate us, so we left. If they wanted to turn the table over, we would’ve been out in under an hour and we were surprised they didn’t want to work with us.. The good news is we went across the street and had a great dinner at Ignite and had great food, with window seating, no reservation.  I would highly recommend Ignite.

    Parking can be tough. Good food, nothing spectacular. Good service. Can be a bit loud and hard to carry on a conversation at table if the bar is full.

    A reservation is highly recommended, it’s a very busy restaurant. Our table was ready right on time. Drinks were delicious, food was very good and the service was great. Will definitely go back.

    The menu gets smaller every time I go and the entrees are less and less appealing. Our reservations were for 6:30, not seated until 7 and by 9pm they had turned the music and the HEAT OFF. Yes you read that correctly. There was an obvious push to get us out of the building at 9pm on a Thursday. This place has become very cocky - open a few hours a day and the food has become very unimpressive. Won’t be rushing back anytime soon.
