The service was awful. The waitress poured my wine into my water glass, that had Pelligrino in it still. She placed the wrong order for my entree, then it was quick fired and the filets served raw and cold in the middle. The manager brought them out to us and told me I could finish cooking them at home, to which we said no thanks. Took nearly 25 minutes to get an order of oysters, which is most likely because she forgot to put the order in. Great service and average food will get people back in the doors; awful service and sub par food isn't it.

We drive from Dayton just to go here. We live near a Fleming’s…but there is no comparison. Great quality food and excellent service. Mark, our server, was awesome. Very efficient and helpful. I guess that’s what you get when the server has been with the company for 14 years. I had the Chopped Salad and French Onion Soup. The broth of the soup was the best I’ve had. My parents had lamb, which was great too. Really, really pleased with our experience.
