    Valet is mandatory if you eat here. You must pay to valet your car if you want to eat here. I was unaware of this, self parked and the valet looked for me in the restaurant , embarrassed me by insinuating I tried to skip out on the valet and then demanded my keys. Atmosphere is very lively and loud with a piano bar with singer/crowd getting into it. Steaks were good but not worth the high price tag, which goes up when you add mediocre baked potatoe or any other side. 3 people. $400 bill with no alcohol. The highlight of our experience was our fantastic waitress Tracy. She was obviously extremely busy, looked like she was handling too many tables and yet she made time to ensure we were well taken care of. Thank you Tracy for outstanding service.

    Great experience. Loved the piano player in the lounge. Just was a little bit pricey especially for the kids menu. Still very good. Would come Back. Love the decor and the bartender as well. Music thou stole the show. Bobby Cruz. My dad and I split the til sirloin and I loved the Char on the steak.

    We had the best time of our lives with amazing food. I suggest trying the lobster bisque and my husband says try the crab Louis salad. Also, the live music with Bobby Cruz words cannot describe how amazing and fun this night was

    I ordered the Lobster Bisque, which was served to me lukewarm and I sent it back to be heated up. The waitstaff never replenished my husband’s water glass, that happens. The best thing was the dessert- berry cobbler, absolutely delicious and beautifully displayed. Unfortunately I got really sick after eating the bisque and think I will not go there again. Kinda gross that the soup was served at the wrong temp.

    The atmosphere was tired and drab, very outdated. The noise level was unbearable and we couldn’t have a conversation , as we were seated next to a large, loud and obnoxious group . The food was overrated and overpriced. On a positive note, our server was excellent.

    Terrible. So expensive and the food is bad, service was bad, noisy kids, tvs in the dining room. Nothing good about it. Wished we had gone anywhere else. Not enough history here to make up for the bad food.

    I had planned a special birthday dinner for my husband. Our table of four was right by the restrooms so it was very chaotic and loud. Many patrons were drunk and walked back and forth to the bathroom. The steaks were good, but the twice baked potatoes were dry. It was a very expensive dinner for a very disappointing experience.
