    It was perfect as usual. My only comment was the lobster Mac was not to my wife’s or my taste. Everything else was just excellent..Israel’s service was impeccable. Thanks for a fine dinner.

    Excellent experience, the entire staff was friendly and professional. Food was as good as would be expected at a restaurant on this level. Great job by the bartender, best Old Fashion I've had, and there have been many. The Filet Mignon was absolutely perfect. I had the special, stuffed Rockfish and it was great. There is a lot of great competition in this arena and we're looking for the best of Richmond. These guys are on the short list.

    Party of 7. Variety of drinks, apps and entrees. All delicious and came out timely and cooked as ordered. Our waiter was pretty flat and boring compared to the interactions of other servers with their tables but what can ya doooo.
