    The staff was amazing from the minute you walked in the door. Our table wasn't ready so the host sent us to the bar and paid for our drink! Everything we had was delicious and cooked perfectly. Save room for the bananas foster.

    Shelly and staff were amazing. This was our first time at this restaurant and my first time eating a Tomahawk Steak. The steak was cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The staff are pleasant and friendly. Shelly you can tell loves her job and wants to bring the best experience to the customer. Her smile and passion, ambience, staff, food, is a 5 star experience. Highly recommend.

    We’ve been to the restaurant many times when it was the previous owner we were so excited to go with the new owners told there was music piano player for 15minutes then stopped when asked did they have any gluten-free dishes? The waiter’s eyes rolled, which is serious medical condition that I have Then they attempted to try to make something to accommodate me, but it was horrible And also they were tentative to a 5% tax that they put on for employee healthcare and education, but shno attention to people with food allergies that cause serious problems such a hypocritical status

    If I could give Shelly 10 Stars for service I would! What a professional….! We started the night in the cocktail lounge, with gentle piano music and carefully poured cocktails. Dinner consisted of perfect French Onion soup and escargot. The chicken pot pie was a treat, but I preferred the filet-cooked to perfection. Desert finished a great meal. We will be back to a hidden gem.

    Food was incredible! The steak Dianne was delicious! Best martini, too. But while the food was truly great, it was the hospitality and warmth of everyone there made it a really special experience!
