    We were here for a few days and this is the best place our group ate. We were a large group and the service and quality of food were both amazing.

    The table for two had a nice view. Delaney was an excellent waitress. The steak tartar was yummy. Charcuterie board was wonderful. We had a very nice evening. Thank you so much.

    Food was terrible! What was billed as a filet was absolutely NOT and it was served over cooked and cold. Wait Staff were inattentive and slow. I had to get up twice to get attention. All this and the restaurant was not even close to being full of diners. Would hate to see what happens when there is a full house.
