    The Filet Mignon Cobb Salad - the ingredients are super fresh & the dressing should be golden champagne and not blue cheese. It’s such a wonderful lunch. This salad is a must and should be as famous as the Waldrof. Joseph at the bar, makes any day super sunny 😎and his Old Fashioned is all smiles.

    This is one of our go to restaurants. I stepped out of my comfort zone and had lasagna instead of chicken Parmesan. It was delicious. The bread is always so good. We always start with a salad. Restaurant is always so good with changes. We even bought gift cards while we were there because we know we’ll return And other people should experience too.  we had a new server tonight, Brooke. She was wonderful.

    I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and when we first walking into the building it was really cool and nice getting to look at the cars, the little shop, and cafe. I also now see why the wait to land a reservation here is pretty long because walking in, it did not feel packed or too chaotic. I’m a very anxious person and get uncomfortable whenever I’m at a setting where there’s a lot of people so this was extremely nice for me. Now, for the restaurant, I’m a pretty picky eater so not much stood out to me on the menu other than the classic 917 burger which happened to be delicious along with the side of fries that it came with. The bill for me and my partner didn’t come out to a lot or what I was expecting but I mean we did only have the burgers and no alcoholic drinks. Overall really nice and calm place, I felt comfortable and like I could talk to my boyfriend freely and admire the cars together. The service was also really good! I loved everything and my boyfriend enjoyed it a lot as well.
