    Our server Jenna was wonderful. She made my birthday celebration extra special. The food was wonderful, and the ambiance is beautiful and welcoming. The only drawback is the noise level, which is high.

    Our experience at The Study was outstanding! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and treated to impeccable service throughout the evening. Our server, Rodney, went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic dining experience. He was attentive, knowledgeable of the menu, and provided excellent recommendations. The manager, Leo, also made a lasting impression. His leadership was evident in the seamless service and welcoming atmosphere. He checked in with us to ensure everything was perfect, adding a personal touch that elevated our experience. The food was absolutely phenomenal! We enjoyed the 3-course Valentine's menu (tuna tataki, bone marrow tartare, duck breast and steak & onions... to name a few items). The Study takes great pride in their cuisine, cocktails, and customer service. The Study is the place to go if you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

    The food was amazing, the Augie’s platter started us off perfectly, along with an order of frites which came with a variety of tasty sauces to choose from. I finished with a lamb pot pie which was delightful, although next time I think I’ll try the jambalaya pasta. The food had a bit of a dragging wait time, but it was Saturday night and completely worth it.
