    The food and experience was Great. Definitely a pretty penny though so be prepared to spend $$$. But it was worth it from the bread, to the salad, Rasta pasta, & wine….top tier I will be sure to come again

    Food was good but over priced. Service was a little slow for dinner. Will go back but only for brunch or lunch.

    The host, our waiter/ bartender and the piano player were all outstanding. Beyond that, very unimpressed. Food was slow and poor. Neither meal was eatable, and it was pricey. Too bad. Used to be a truly great restaurant.

    Excellent service and food. We had a very enjoyable evening. The lights were flickering in the dining area, which was distracting. But the general environment, seating and music, were nice. The wait staff were all excellent.

    Our waitress Amber was very knowledgeable patient, superb professionalism. My confirm call from the restaurant to adjust our time by 30mins was not a problem I’m glad they gave us a heads up. Professional staff and very warm from the host even the busboys. I could totally see that everybody worked as a conglomerate team to make sure all of the patriots were taken care of. I truly appreciate this type of service, especially since I’m from the service industry. Definitely will be back.
