    We chose this restaurant for our 35th Wedding Anniversary and we were not disappointed. The food is always excellent. The atmosphere was perfect; we could carry on a conversation between the two of us easily. Our waiter, Patraic, was very attentive. Had a wonderful evening!

    Great food. Service was only "ok." My waiter wasn't terribly focused. I asked for no ice in my water, but kept getting ice. I asked for limes, but the limes that were brought to me were old and dried out. I asked for a to-go box for the bread, but waiter never brought it. 😒

    Cigar & Cocktail Steak night. Once again, outstanding and the staff was excellent. Presentations by both the Cigar and Old Forester rep's were on target. The combination of fine cigars and crafted cocktails with this 5-Course dinner is well worth the price. Not quite sure how they make any money.
