    Absolutely great food and service. If possible, leave a cash tip. The servers don't receive their nightly tips when you use a card and tip on it.

    Excellent food quality. Shrimp cocktail quite an experience. Loved it. Server very helpful and friendly. Perfect amount of attentiveness without being a bother. Atmosphere warm and elegant. A meal to remember. Thank you for giving us that. Plus my Dad got a free dessert for his 89th birthday. So sweet. Most professional restaurant I’ve been to in a long time. Loved the old photos on the walls.

    Our waitress was amazing. She was attentive and friendly. We come here every year and look forward to it every time. This year my steak was cold and really tough.

    Restaurant was PHENOMENAL! We had a great dinner and did not expect how upscale it was inside. We are in town for a cheer competition, it was my nieces birthday and came around 545pm. After we left, it was extremely busy! Definitely recommend getting reservations ahead of time. Steak was delicious! The lobster bisque was perfected—tons of lobster bits, creamy and rich. Would recommend anyone to come here!
