   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.

   Very disappointed. They were out of chicken, NY strip, Caesar salad, the beef pasta, even UNSWEETENED tea! But the Brussels sprouts were good.

   The grouper and shrimp dishes we ordered were tasty and prepared well. The unsmoked Old Fashion was great. The waitress was busy tending another remote dinning area, but we enjoyed the cozy, quiet dining room near the front door. It was a busy night for the restaurant but the food and drinks were excellent. We will defintely return.

   Very cool vibe but food was average at best for the price you pay. Potatoes came out cool on first time and cool plus the second time. Steak quality was that of Longhorns. Dessert was fine but nothing to write about. Overall I’d give it a C+

    Being New Year one can expect delays and confusion. But maybe not to this degree. Our first bottle of wine was 25 minutes because the bartender was busy mixing drinks & hors d’oeuvres arrived before we get anything in our glasses but we’re quite good. The wine list quite impressive and well priced.  the main courses was a mixed success, salmon, fresh, and cooked to perfection while chicken and gnocchi was a Zoë and giant and unappetizing clump.  We will try again when it’s not New Year’s Eve.
