    Food and service were impecable. Enjoyed an early lunch with my family and everyone was blown away by everything. Roasted brie, filet, ribeye and asparagus were all incredible. Cheesecake and bread pudding were spectacular. Nice view over the river.

    I had a great time. My steak was a little cold but maybe they were busy due to the Super Bowl. I loved the complimentary drinks due to the wait even though I had a reservation. Took a little over an hour to get 1 steak, lob tail, and gumbo. I will dine again.

    Very beautiful restaurant. Food was amazing I had the filet and the wedge salad. Also a nice glass of sparkling rose. Staff was very nice. To make it perfect the waitess would have come sooner and more often. I can't wait to go back! Bravo!

    We are from here and wanted to have a delicious dinner with a view for my nephews birthday. The oysters were scrumptious, the chocolate bomb was nice and the mashed potatoes were whipped perfectly but everything else was mid to disappointing. Steaks, meh, duck over cooked and sides really boring. Even the menu is a bit of a bore. The whole experience came across as a mid range hotel dinner at exorbitant prices.
