Absolutely amazing experience! I have one suggestion. It was our anniversary and they brought out a small cake like desert. Which was nice but I would recommend not serving this. Little Debbie snack cakes are better. The food was amazing, appetizers, sides and main course. To serve this to us at the end is embarrassing for this five star establishment. We ended ordering the crème brûlée and it was amazing like everything else.

Extraordinary experience from beginning to end. The maitre d’ recognized our request for a bourbon tasting with dinner and made sure to seat us at a table in Ross’s section. Ross was a delight. Funny, efficient, and knowledgeable with the menu and especially the bourbon. After asking us questions on type, style, price, he created a tasting that was perfect beginning to end. I am going to dream about my halibut main course and my husband raved about the Caesar salad. We will definitely be back when we come to town.

Been a while since we've eaten here. Still satisfying. Great food! I don't say "great" lightly. Everything was delicious from the kale salad with buttermilk vinaigrette, the beef carpaccio, the charred beet toast with buttermilk ricotta and horseradish, and our mussels and petit filet. Interesting cocktails. Highly recommended!

The only thing that I can say is that our main course came out within 5 minutes of our salads. I know it is a busy time but our food was cold by the time we got to eat it.
