    The flavors were amazing and the waiter was incredible. Also was able to try a few off-menu cocktails that were spot on. This place will definitely be a repeat stop on our next visit.

    EXCEPTIONAL!! Best steak I've ever had! Do not pass on the cheese charcuterie board. The duck was fabulous! The lamb most exquisite! The salmon did not disappoint. Best Old Fashion, very smooth! Pricey but definitely a bucket list location, especially when it's all decorated for Christmas! Special occasion destination - anniversary, graduation, family visiting for holidays, etc. Our waiter, Paine, was the best! Very knowledgeable with amazing recommendations. I'm also most appreciative of the lady with Open Table that helped me change our reservation 3 times! :)

    Lovely Christmas menu. Food was cooked perfectly. An array of Flavors made the experience even more delightful. More than enough food. Excellent wine selection. Our waiter was personable, and was a great guide through each course. Prime rib was prepared to perfection.
