   Arrived 10 mins prior to our dinner appointment, hostess was not friendly, almost bothered that we show up 10 mins early to a 4 PM dinner appointment. Asked our reservation name and told her, said they weren't seating until 4, that was it, no you can grab a drink at the bar upstairs, nothing. When 4pm came around went back down, was asked again or reservation name, even though we just saw and told her less than 10 minutes prior and there was 1 other couple there, not a mass of people waiting to be seated. Dirty martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives were ordered, came with 3 regular olives. Asked the guy who brought them where the blue cheese olives were, he said he'd ask the bartender, never saw him again. Waitress came by, she took the olives and then came back with same olives that had been rolled in blue cheese. Great for a $16 drink. Got Bill, gave her our credit cards and when the bill came back to sign it was $120 over what the bill was supposed to be. Asked her what was going on, she said oops, bad math. No apology, no sorry for the mistake let me take that dessert off of the bill, wonder how often that happens and people don't catch it. She said she credited back the incorrect amount on first card swipe. Went out to credit card when home and there are 2 identical charges for the incorrect amount. Now have to deal with getting these charges reversed. For the amount this place changes for everything they need to do this better.

   First, let me start with saying the food was incredible. Worth every penny. My struggle was how dark it was. You couldn’t even see what it was you were eating. Most people around us were using their flashlights to see the menu because it was so dark. It was extremely loud. I was sitting directly next to my husband and had to raise my voice in order for him to hear me. Would highly recommend the Brussels, candies bacon & the flavor of our steaks was insane amazing.

   Service was great. Cocktails well made. Meal was well prepared. We had the dry aged strip and was not a fan of the dry age taste. Tables were tight and private conversations were not possible. The ambiance could be great if not for the tight tables

   Food is over-salted. My wife’s scallops were destroyed by vastly excessive salt. My duck was salty. We are not the only couple who has noted salty food. There Google reviews who mention the issue.

   Food was immaculate, service was horrendous. Not once, but TWICE our server “forgot” our orders. First time was our appetizer which took 55min to get to our table, then it was our second order of drinks after receiving our main meal - our server forgot to submit our drink order. Some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life paired with the worst service I’ve had made for a very conflicting experience…

   Varied menu offering beef to seafood. Great cocktail menu offering old time drinks. Wine and beer too. Service very attentive and atmosphere of the Speakeasy 1920's.
