    Food is as mediocre. Service was very very slow. Very pricey for what it was. Will not plan to return. Started off poorly when we were offered still or sparkling and not tap and understood it was a house water option. Felt like we were being ripped off.

    food was okay and had the service been better it might have been a pleasant experience. The restaurant was not full. Service was terribly rushed. entrees arrived with in seconds of the apps being cleared. I didn’t eat most of my very large charcuterie platter which consisted primarily of salami and some pickles. a few slices of prosciutto. no cheese, no pate, no bread no jams or mustards. i asked the server to pack it up for me to take home later. instead he put in in a bag and dropped it unceremoniously on the table while i was eating my enteee. just an unpleasant experience overall. pretty venue but they need to step up the food and the service

    David was a great server with a ton of knowledge on the menu and the history of the venue. We had a great time. The cocktails were great. Definitely going back for the Black Manhattan.

    The duck was served Luke warm twice. The side sauce was like jam, paired with wine, i felt like i partaking in a test for diabetes.

    After being moved from the dining room to the tavern when a last minute affair was booked we were skeptical, but we have a fabulous mean and perfect service by Ludwig. We started with steak tartar and a trio of dips that were all delicious. Main meals were duck and cavatelli with lamb ragu, prepared perfectly with professional presentation. We capped our meal with decadent chocolate cake that was a perfect sweet ending. Martini and Old Fashion cocktails were a great beginning to a lovely meal. We will be back.

    The meal started off with ordering drinks- no draft beer which they had 5 listed on menu . Since no draft beer we ordered martini- grey goose , none , no Tito’s , The salad then came - ridiculous . 5 piece of lettuce topped with a piece of dry toast . Looked totally unappetizing. Sent back - meal came . One person ordered pasta shrimp - said it was not cooked . Didn’t eat . No accommodation on check on either salad or entree. Beautiful room but the experience was NOT GOOD ! We are usually not picky but this was unusually not a good experience at all.. sadly

    Beautiful place Food was delicious Beginning was very efficient and fast Our waiter was sweet and with a very low voice but difficult to hear . All was awesome but I asked for an extra glass of wine and beverage never arrived . Tried to ask someone else and all of a sudden the manager came to the table and said wine was on the house . Very professional and kind . Desert took a very long time to get to the table and ice cream was melted and bread pudding a bit cold . Overall we loved the place and food and atmosphere A few minus but I’m sure it will be different next time Thank you
