    My food was really good, I ordered the stuffed mushrooms, iceberg wedge salad, and the salmon entree everything was delicious! The service could have been better, it took a while for the bartender to take for my order, she never took the empty plates. (I sat at the bar so it wasn’t much space) I did have a bunch of flies flying around my food. Also I don’t drink there wasn’t a mocktail option on the menu.

    The food here is amazing! I had oyster rockerfeller appetizer with the filet and shrimp for an entrée. The steak was extremely tender and cooked perfectly. The drinks were good as well. The server, Will was friendly but not as attentive as we expected. We often had to wait for drinks and water and did not bring my lobster bisque until after we received our meals. Overall, decent food and I would try again.

    Unbelievably expensive for what you get! Plan on about $100/person w-tip if you go. I ordered the chicken parm, it was horrible and tasted like it was made a few days ago and warmed up. Very disappointed DO NOT order the chicken parm trust me. Service was good, ambiance was nice.

    Seafood dishes were all fishy. Octopus was tough and chewy. Steak was cooked right-on Food was fine, not great. Drinks were delish Keep in mind that if there is an event, downtown, valet parking will be $40! What?

    Food was great, had some troubles with the temp on a few items. Our server seemed to have been directing most of his attention to other tables, as he wasnt that busy seemingly. He visited our table very scarcely, and we weren’t the only ones, a couple next to us got us after the incredibly long first visit time. We had to wait for him to come and ask us how the food was as we had troubles with it. We had to pull someone aside to get our check, and then wait for him to bring it back. It was hard to ignore it but it didn’t ruin out night. Pretty important that the service is somewhat on par seeing as we are spending almost $200 here.
