    From start to finish this was an outstanding meal and definitely ranks with one of the best I’ve ever had! The host and service team were attentive and made sure I had everything I needed, the second I needed it. My server Maddie was a true gem and I would go back and request her every time. I took advantage of the Spring Prix Fixe menu and it was an incredible value and the food exceeded every expectation I had. I will definitely be back and will tell all my friends as well!

    We visited The Courtney Room for our anniversary, hoping for a memorable evening, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the occasion. Service: The staff were friendly, but the service lacked attentiveness and efficiency. We waited too long for our drinks, empty glasses went unnoticed, and dishes lingered on the table far past their welcome. For a restaurant of this caliber, we expected more polished and proactive service. Food: The menu sounded promising, but the execution missed the mark across several dishes. The "burrata" toast didn’t taste or feel like burrata—more like a generic creamy spread. The duck liver was overwhelmed by an overly sweet jelly, and the portion was minuscule for the price. The duck breast dish was a miss: the skin wasn’t rendered, the black risotto was under-seasoned and hard to distinguish from the plate, and the pickled turnip ribbon felt like an afterthought. Supposed morels were either MIA or lost in the monochrome. The wagyu lacked the flavor or texture to justify its price tag. Highlight: The Courtney Room potatoes with ranch dressing were the best part of the meal—crispy, flavorful, and everything we hoped the rest of the dishes would be. We paid over $300 (including tax and tip) for this meal. At that price point, you expect more than just ambiance and a solid side dish. Unfortunately, the experience left us disappointed and questioning the value.

    One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Mac, the bartender, blew our mind and the staff went above and beyond. Can’t recommend this place enough!
