    I don’t even know where to begin.. I came here to celebrate my boyfriends 40th birthday. The waiter we had was Lonnie and he was absolutely exceptional from point A to point B. Welcoming, kind, attentive but not overbearing, fast, personable and just all around accommodating thus helping me execute a perfect birthday dinner evening. The Branzino was by far the best I’ve ever had and got my boyfriends first time trying it, he was a huge fan. Love this place! Will be back again. Thank you Lonnie for your great service!

    The entire staff from our hostess to waitress to manager were all amazing! The food was outstanding. Four of us dined and shared apps and tried each other’s dinners and there wasn’t one thing we didn’t all enjoy. We arrived on time but there was a bit of delay getting us seated. The hostess continually checked in with us and made sure we were seated as soon as a table was available. The manager was apparently made aware (not by us) and at the end of our meal she offered us desserts on the house, which was both unexpected and very much appreciated. A great touch and ending to an overall outstanding experience. We will be regulars here from now on!

    Love having new option. A steakhouse is always a higher price point, thus expectation is higher. The venue was done well. Food was done well. If there was a 10-scall, I'd give this a 9 - SOLID. But to get a 10 it needs to be a "blow-my-socks-off" in all avenues.

    We love this place, but be ready for a whole new menu! We used to love the duck nachos now replaced with duck tostados...they are good but not like the nachos. That could be personal though. The place is still wonderful. Our waiter was amazing a lot of fun. It is now owned by the same restaurant group that owns Union League, but still nothing like Union League-the atmosphere is still the same.
