    The hostess wasn’t very welcoming, but everyone else was super friendly! Including the man who seated us and the man who cleared our dishes. Our server Cameron was excellent! He was attentive, always smiling, and super nice to my elderly parents and my toddler. The food was excellent and a great value for the prime rib special. Everyone’s meat was cooked correctly as we each had requested different temps. We requested food for our toddler that was not on the kids menu (different sauce) and they were accommodating. We had to be in the ballroom due to the outside air quality, which we appreciated, so it was different than being in the typical dining room but it was fine. We can’t wait to come back!

    Dined here with two friends for my birthday. I had dined here once before two months ago and returned because of the lobster bisque. The first time I also ordered a medium rare filet mignon, it was under seasoned. Last night I ordered the salmon and it was perfectly cooked. The skin was crisp and the fish was juicy cooked perfectly to about a medium well. The cranberry sauce it came with was winner. We were able to order the seasonal pumpkin old fashioned, which I lived on my first visit. My friend also loved it. My other friend ordered the spicy mezcal cocktail, something bells. That was also great! We also ordered a steak tartare to start and it was okay, we felt it needed something other than the egg yolk, maybe a light vinaigrette drizzle. My friend ordered a side Mac and cheese and it was not cheesy. She also ordered a crab cake for her meal as she does not eat a lot, she absolutely loved it. Tartar sauce was very good. She ordered a French onion soup to start and also loved it. We ended the evening with glasses of Bordeaux and the crème brûlée that was on the house for the birthday celebration. Brûlée was amazing. Perfect consistency. Bordeaux was soooo good. My friend ordered an affogato and loved it. Our experience was great, our server was attentive and funny, great vibe and went through the menu nicely. We loved her. The rest itself is very very quiet, you can hear your thoughts even though they somehow have music playing. Beautiful place and table set up.
