    We dined here after our annual family trip to Yuletide Celebration. I can’t say enough good things about our experience! Our server Bryce and the rest of the wait staff were outstanding. Very personable, professional, and made great recommendations regarding portions sizes and for people in our party that were undecided between entree items. The manager, Cody, was extremely helpful in getting us sat at a great table on the 2nd floor where one in our party needed elevator access due to handicap restrictions. We’ve been to every steakhouse in the downtown and surrounding areas multiple times and this easily is in my personal top-3 now! Already in the process of setting another reservation for my daughter’s birthday in a couple of weeks.

    We decided to revisit WG, this time for my wife's 60th birthday. Food is always perfect...highly recommend! Service was tremendous. Parker was our server. He gathered a group together to sing happy birthday to my wife. Weber Grill typically does not do that, so he went the extra mile. Parker also picked up on the fact that we were on somewhat of a time crunch as we had tickets to the Yuletide Celebration at Circle Theater. He managed to expedite our drinks and meal. Weber Grill is a must, we've never had a bad experience, and the food is top notch!

    Fabulous downtown Christmas experience at Harry and Izzy’s! The French onion soup was out of this world. ( We brought our own scissors…) The prime rib sandwich was very tasty, but I could have done without the onions on the buns. Now. The service. H& I always has incredible service but on this evening, Sean (our server) went above and beyond!! Always attentive to our needs and my Coke glass was never allowed to be empty. Can’t wait to visit again in the near future.

    First time guests and will definitely be returning. We had an awesome experience! My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner. Food and drink came a little slowly but otherwise we had a great time and our server was great. She was very sweet and personable and made us feel very welcomed. The food was fantastic. I finished my plate and that never happens for me! The drinks were also great. The value for your buck is definitely worth it.
