    We were looking for a high end dinner for Christmas Eve and we got it. Santa was there and he was great. The food truly was outstanding. We did not have one bite we didn't like. Couldn't eat it all, took it home and at it again a few hours later. So worth it. I want to go back just to have the fried green tomatoes. Yummy!

    It was Christmas eve, so it was empty, that is why is was quiet, but the service and food was excellent. this is the second year in a row we have gone for xmas eve brunch and we love it. Drinks are great, we order the cowboy meal or whatever it is called, it has 3 steaks and 10 shrimp and 4 sides. It was great! We will probably end up there next year!

    I was able to pre celebrate my birthday. The area was very nice, ambience was great. Loved the playlist while everyone and Jame and eat while still having class. Food was surprisingly great although not hot as I would like but no major complaints. Drinks were great as well. Our waiter was excellent and even surprised me with a birthday dessert and sparklers which I was not expecting. I will return back for sure. I initially was scheduled to have my dinner on that Saturday but was cancelled with no notice so I did have to call and find out why which the young lady was able to tell me that someone had booked the entire restaurant. It would have been nice if the reason could have been included or a posting on one of the social media accounts … and then perhaps some type of accommodation or free item for the inconvenience.

    We had a great dinner here on Saturday. We were sat at the bar and Octavius the bartender took care of us. He was so personable and funny and made our dinner a blast. I got the club and my spouse had the burger, both were so delicious. We loved our evening here.
