Staff was okay, polite but not super friendly but the food was way overpriced for the quality. My filet mignon was charred all on the outside and my husbands filet was overcooked and mangled together, best part of both our meals was his mashed potatoes.

My wife and I had an excellent Anniversary dinner. Made the reservation on Open Table, and noted that it was our Anniversary. Fried Green Tomatoes set aside a very nice table for us, had a little Happy Anniversary sign on the table, and gave us a complimentary Crème Brûlée for desert. Food, service and ambience was top notch. Thanks for a great experience!
