   We came for date night, and the ambiance was nice. Drinks were terrible (I ordered a mocktail which tasted like pickle juice, and my husband ordered a cocktail that lacked any flavor). They have an extensive wine list, but since our drinks were a bust we stuck with water for the rest of our meal. We ordered the crispy California rice as an app but they were out of it, so we went with the whipped feta which tasted good, but it wasn't anything spectacular. For dinner my husband ordered the scallop risotto, which the risotto and succotash were under cooked and under seasoned, but the scallops tasted great. I had the paperdelle with mushrooms, and if you are hungry I wouldn't recommend to order. It tasted great, however the portion size is not in line with an entree (even though the price is). It seemed more like a side dish for the amount you get. For dessert we tried the apple curler and were again underwhelmed. The cake was dry (likely from being cold), and the buttercream was missing sugar. However the cinnamon ice cream was good. Needless to say we didn't finish dessert. The service was good, and I will say this place is a steakhouse so that could be why we had a lackluster experience since neither if us ordered steak. Still, for the price we paid it was not worth it. This was our first and last time at this restaurant.

   Steak was low quality for a chophouse. Bar is very nice to have a drink, but appetizers lacked flavor.

   Previous reviews are correct. Beautiful restaurant, food was good, not great. Service was fine but had large gaps in it, with only 3 table occupied, this was hard to understand. Everyone was very friendly, multiple greetings, opening doors, etc. Overall...the experience on the whole was just...meh....We really wanted to love this restaurant since we have lost 2 downtown fine dining restaurants, but they still have work to do to make the meal match the cost.

   The waiter was polite and efficient. Tables for 2 are not the atmosphere I expected from this type of restaurant. The tables are in a row and very close together. We could hear every word of the couples on each side of us. The food was bland and nothing special for the price. Filet was tough, mashed potatoes were basic and the Caesar salad was lettuce with some dressing- had to ask for pepper & cheese, mushrooms had no flavor. I have Celiac Disease & must be gluten free. I spent the majority of the time watching my dining companion eat because they do not have much to choose from that’s gluten free. No apps, No bread, only 2 sides to choose from and no desserts. Fahrenheit, Ruth’s Chris, & Morton’s will remain my go to for a quality steak & experience.

    Place has potential a lot of it. Loved the complimentary valet parking, food was prepped correctly, took a little longer than it should but overall for only being open 5 months some hiccups are expected. Will take feedback from customers to correct. The small issues we noticed are easily fixable with some tweaks. Decor and Service were great. I will return in a couple of months. I also think the lunch / dinner service would be better as I think the brunch was a special New Years Day thing. Love the "To Go" boxes too! **The Orange Champagne Buttercream was so good**
