We had a pleasant and tasty meal. The French Onion Soup was delicious as always.

First time dining here. Lively atmosphere. Big menu. Had reservations for 730 pm but running behind with the table. Restaurant manager was very accommodating and provided us with complimentary wine until our table was ready. Erica was our server and she was excellent. Meatball and calamari appetizers were delicious. Lamb chops, surf and turf and veal Parmesan entrees were all excellent. Red and white wines were also very good as was the wine list. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Here’s a polished review based on your experience: A Fantastic Dining Experience! From start to finish, my dinner experience was absolutely fantastic.

Highly recommended!

We were here on Valentine's Day, so I would imagine the experience differed a bit from a typical evening out. We enjoyed the whole experience - they were quite busy but did a great job taking care of us. Our server had a good sense of humor and we enjoyed interacting with him. The bread before our meal was fantastic. Our appetizers were good (I had the croquettes and my husband had a beet hummus). My filet was cooked perfectly and so delicious, and my husband enjoyed the quail he ordered. Our dessert was fine, nothing special (cheesecake with a strawberry sauce and pretzel crust). I had ordered the other prix fixe dessert option, but by that point didn't feel like bothering our server about it, and the cheesecake was fine. I was stuffed by then anyway. The ambiance of the restaurant was great, and I really loved the bar area. Overall I was impressred, and would make the trip back from Columbus on a regular night any time.
