    We had an amazing experience. We made a reservation for two and were placed at a shared 8 top table. Not what we wanted to experience that night. We asked the reservation specialist if we could move to a quieter more private table and she was able to accommodate us within 5 minutes. Marcus, our server, did an asking job explaining the food and beverage menu. The food was quick and tasted amazing (oyster's, artichokes, pizza). Atmosphere amazing and the bathrooms were clean. Love the lotion in the bathroom.

    Absolutely wonderful. The meal was incredibly delicious as were the raspberry martinis. They really made it a special Valentines Day dinner with rose petals and little red gems on the tables. We had the mixed greens salad with champagne vinaigrette and the hangar steak. For dessert I had the crème brûlée and my companion the chocolate mousse. Both were excellent. Highly recommend this neighborhood “gem”.

    We went for Valentine’s Day and it didn’t go well at all. We went for steaks but they were out and didn’t tell us until we ordered. The chef found a couple rib eyes which was great. Unfortunately they served our steak to another table and I sat for 2 hours while my other half ate. It was awkward just sitting there watching everyone eat. I have to admit the restaurant owned the issue, apologized profusely, comped the whole meal and gave me a $200 gift certificate. I had my meal wrapped up when it finally came and we left. I understand things happen and I’m very happy how they handled it. The steak was delicious when I finally ate it at home. In other news, it was LOUD and the communal tables put people on top of each other but a couple next to us was our biggest champion getting comped.
