    The food was delicious. We had the NY Strip and it was cooked as ordered. Very tasty mashed potatoes and yummy green beans!! We just got side salads and the dressing was delicious.

    I had the steak, and it was cooked as asked medium, the string beans were very good, mashed potatoes were too salty for me but tasted good. My wife had steakmac dish which she enjoyed. We were seated in a small room on the left as you first come in which was ok when others were seated there to, but when everyone left it felt very secluded!

    Menu wasn’t really that interesting to me or my partner - lots of decadent comfort food. Pork belly appetizer was good…Brussels sprouts good. Buttermilk chicken very average and a little overcooked…cassoulet that accompanied it was good though. My hubby had the “adult” Mac ‘n cheese and said it tasted good but not a real skilled dish to put together. Not fine dining but good enough!

    The minute you walk in the door you know you are in a special restaurant. The lighting and raw walls are wonderful. There are several different areas to dine in. The menu is not too extensive but it is varied and unique. The food and service was good. All in all a great experience.

    First time there and we must of just picked a bad night because they pretty much ran out of most of their main dishes. We just wish that since we had a reservation set there for our 6-year anniversary we’d get a phone call informing us of this. And we would plan to come back another night. The drinks and calamari were delicious though! We’ll definitely give it a second shot though in the near future.

    The ambience was beautiful. We were seated immediately ar our reservation time. we were told when handed the menus that several food items were no longer available at five 5:30 PM. We were disappointed because we were interested in a couple of the specials. We did eat the salmon and the salad with nuts and cheese. We thought the portions were small, but tasty.
