    We had a truly wonderful dinner at Stirrups for my Birthday. The ambiance feels elegant without being “stuffy”. And the Staff were sincerely friendly.

    Absolutely incredible service from our waiter, Daniel! We were there for my birthday and were provided both a glass of champagne and a delicious dessert to go along with all the warm wishes and attentive service. The NY Strip was cooked to perfection and their smoked old fashion is unmatched! Thank you for making this milestone special yet again!

    Editing this post. Food is amazing. In my original post I had left a critique of the flow of the dinner. They were just busy, but it wasn’t their best work. Despite it not being a major issue the manager reached out to us directly to make it right. You learn about the true quality of a business not when they are doing everything right but how they respond when they don’t. It is clear to me that Stirrups, based on my interaction with their manager Gia, holds itself to the highest of standards and I look forward to spending special occasions there for years to come.

    Very expensive for the quality of food . They have a new chef I guess and his version of the menu just doesn’t work for me. 21.00 drinks are a little spendy as well.

    We had a very nice dinner. Service was excellent. My wedge salad had brown leaves and not very appetizing. My wife’s she crab soup was excellent. Her scallops with corn risotto was also very good. Dessert was delicious. The cocktails also were well made.
