    The atmosphere and ambiance were great! The service was wonderful, and the food was delicious! The seating was a bit tight for my liking. Most of the seating is along walls with long couches on one side and chairs on the other. There was about 12" between us and the tables on either side. So, it's hard to have a private dinner, but it wouldn't deter me from going back. My wife and I truly enjoyed it!

    Food and service were excellent. It was a very quiet Tuesday evening in the restaurant. It was a business dinner for out of town colleagues and they were very impressed.

    Overall good experience, but was given some trouble for trying to use a gift card received from a friend who purchased it via email, as showed them the email thread that said the gift card would be available to us for pick up, and they did not have it and wouldn’t honor it.
    Lockbox at 21c HotelResponded on 30 January 2025
    Hi Calvin, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your experience at Lockbox. I appreciate the nod to the overall experience but I'm disappointed to read about your gift card experience. It doesn't sound typical and I would like to learn more about what you encountered. I will reach out privately and we can go from there. Brian Walters Director of Food & Beverage

    Great beginning to New Year’s Eve! Two bourbon flights, a delicious dinner and great service. The mushroom toast is a must! The high ceilings help keep the noise level low, so you can actually have a conversation.
    Lockbox at 21c HotelResponded on 13 January 2025
    Hey Dan, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your Lockbox experience and thanks for the 5 stars! The mushroom toast is out of this world and you can always find a great flight at Lockbox with our dozens of barrel selections from familiar distilleries. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to welcoming you back for more memorable experiences in 2025! Sincerely, Lockbox
