The front of the house is great- loved the hostess and our server. Drinks were fantastic. The food - sucked . I ordered a strip for 68 bucks and got a piece of meat that looked like it escaped from a sizzler. Cold sides. Really bad kitchen performance. Love the whiskey food boarders on inedible. They should replace the chef - start over and get it right.
