    We were really looking forward to celebrating a birthday, but the experience didn’t live up to expectations. Our table was delayed 30 minutes, and our seating requests weren’t honored. No acknowledgment of the occasion made it feel less special the service overall was very underwhelming.For the price, the overall experience and food was a letdown

    Excellent food and service. We were fortunate to be on the upstairs level as the noise from the ground floor bar can be pretty loud. However, the food was excellent and the filet steak was delicious. Fantastic wine list that would take half the evening to read through

    Thank you very much for the great review. We hope to see you again!

    That ribeye...just perfection. Dinner time is always packed so can get loud, but the oysters and steak are just always on point.
