    We frequently dine here, however, the service tonight was rushed and our server gave us the bill when we still had full cocktails. Then the server came back and asked if I had the bill ready! Very disappointed!

    As usual the food and service were exemplary. The noise level was a little higher that I would have liked but there was a Blue Jackets game the night we dined so no harm no foul.

    Amanda did a great job as our server with the help of Juan. Our food and drinks were outstanding, as per the usual. The only minor complaint I ever have is the noise level can be so loud that it’s hard to carry on a conversation.

    It was our first time in since the makeover. The place looks beautiful and is very comfortable, but still elegant. We had a table of 10. Everything was outstanding from steaks, pasta, salads and desserts. Service could not have been better. Server was attentive, a nice sense of humor and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. A truly wonderful experience. We will return soon.

    Highly recommend. They were able to accommodate our party of 9 on a busy Saturday evening for our daughter’s birthday. The food and drinks were phenomenal. All the food was awesome especially the steaks and scallops. The desserts and dessert drinks were amazing from Espresso Martini to Crème Brûlée. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and patient. I wish I could remember his name….We will definitely be back! Sincerely The Straub Family
