    They were very busy, we got water as soon as we sat but then waited well over 30 minutes for one of our two waitresses to come back for drink and app order. Two other groups that sat after us were both served before us. Waitresses were attentive after that. We ordered the seafood tower as an app, it was underwhelming and way less than satisfying compared to a tower at many other steakhouse restaurants. That said the steaks were some of the best we had ever had from any restaurant, cooked perfect!!

    The food was amazing. Service was quick and friendly. Our favorite dishes are the shrimp cocktail for appetizer. I enjoyed a ribeye medium rare with Gorgonzola cream sauce but also truffle butter was good and horseradish. The sides were loved the creamed kale and cauliflower.

    The waitstaff was one of the worst we have had in a while especially at a higher end restaurant. The waiter was abrupt and not very helpful at all when asked about menu items. His team member who attended to water and clearing would not let us finish anything before trying to clear. We felt so rushed. The food was underwhelming. My steak was overcooked. The broccolini was overcooked and dried out. So disappointing for a “better” restaurant in this area.

    Wonderful birthday dinner from start to finish. Friendly hostess accommodated our booth request and service team worked well together to pace our meal. Everything from the apps, mains, martinis, wines and desserts were delicious. Great dining experience we look forward to repeating!
