    Veronica was extraordinary! Wine list was nice, recommend the Clos du Napa Cabernet. Music level was a bit loud, but the playlist was good to kick start a Nee Year!

    Service started good and we asked the server when ordering to bring our bottle of wine when he brought out the dinner. Half way through dinner he finally brought the wine which at that point we declined. After that we barely saw him again couldn’t even get our water glasses filled. When we finally got him back to the table do that we could pay our bill the wine was on it. Service was good up until he forgot the wine then he was invisible but didn’t care as a mandatory 20% tip wad added to the bill anyway. Food was very good and fairly priced for NYE.

    Service was just really slow, my waiter seemed distracted and overwhelmed even though the restaurant was not busy. Had to ask for water after we sat multiple times, it took him a while to get back and start us with appetizers and then our entrees. My dates food came out first and mine came out 15 minutes later so our sides had already gotten cold. Everyone at the restaurant was super nice I just wouldn’t be back for the price and the lack of service.

    Although my wife and her friends have dined here as a group before, it was my first time visiting. We started off with the calamari appetizer, followed by Caesar salad, accompanied by bread and butter. For our main courses, we had the Alaskan Halibut and the Salmon, both of which were delicious. We topped off the meal with a Kit Kat dessert. It was an enjoyable experience, and we'll definitely be back!

    Our party of five was hoping to have a wonderful dinner at the Statler based on previous reviews. We did enjoy our cocktails and the ambience. Unfortunately, the food was very slow in coming out and not well prepared. Several of the dishes were overcooked. We will not be returning.

    For the price, this was definitely overrated. The service was mid. Food was ok, nothing stellar, and maybe don't have the staff bring around the dessert cart 3x during the meal. It was just not the experience we expected for the price.

    I ordered the lambchops and had to return them twice. The cook obviously didn't know how to cook them. The first order was over cooked and were hard to cut. I ordered them to be cooked medium and I received well done. They took the order back and replaced them with lambchops that were cooked medium well not medium, and it seemed the cook was upset that he/she made them very salty. Seemed like they salted the chops two to three times the normal amount. At this point I told the manager that they were again not cooked to my satisfaction and returned them. At this point I didn't want to order anything else. The rest of our group had already finished their meals. The other three people in our group said that their meal was cooked fine just mine was terrible. Lucky for me we had ordered two appetizers because that was all I had to eat. To add insult to misery I ordered a decaf coffee and another person in our group ordered a regular coffee and they both were terrible. They tasted as if they had been sitting in the pot since the time they first brewed it. It smelled foul. I even had the waitress smell it and she agreed it did smell bad.

    Russell, our waiter, was the nicest human but also had great recommendations. Filet is 10/10. Lamb chops, very good. Drinks were amazing. They turned down the music a little for our larger table to hear each other. Vibes were lovely and highly recommend this spot.
