    The food was fabulous. If you want good service with a great steak come here. We sat at the piano bar and had a wine prior to dinner the piano player was exception both playing and singing. We started with the chopped salad that had a really good Italian dressing.. My husband and I had the bone in ribeye with a loaded baked potato with sautéed onion and mushrooms. Was scrumptious. Highly recommend. It has an old school steak house feel. Very dark and sexy atmosphere. The service was outstanding. .

    Wonderful experience. Staff was awesome, including the secondary waitstaff who assisted with drink refills/other items. Upside down cornbread wasn’t awesome, BBQ shrimp sauce was a little overpowering, but flatbread, fries, and dumplings were fantastic. Cotton candy was a cute and fun addition - made the kids feel special. Will absolutely return to try different items - about to choose from.

    As usual, we had a very good experience. We had one of our two preferred servers (Rivers and Sarah) take care of us. Rivers was accommodating and attentive; Sarah stopped by to say hello. The Sardinian red was a very good match for the new funghi pizza. We asked Rivers about the availability of fresh thyme for the pizza and he brought some out. It turned a very good pie into an excellent one. The molten chocolate tort was outstanding.

    The yellowfin tuna tartare, firecracker tuna tacos, and BBQ shrimp were very fresh and delicious. The complimentary biscuits were served right out the oven and cooked to perfection. I was blown away at how good the Golden Beet salad was, and it was perfect paired with the Scalibut and Parmesan crusted sheepshead. I was pleasantly surprised with the entree fish portion sizes and to top it off, our waiter, Cardale, was phenomenal!
