To start, the restaurant is simply beautiful during the holiday season. When we walked in we were greeted with smiles and warmth from a wood burning fire in the lobby area. Once seated, we had a view of yet another fireplace. Service was spot on and the wine very nice. However, it is the food that stole the evening. I had the ribeye rare and my wife had the ribeye medium rare. Both were cooked to perfection. The sides were delicious. We were too stuffed to have desert there but brought one home for a treat the next day. Would definitely recommend.

My husband thoroughly enjoyed the meatloaf! Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. A little bit of commotion at the bar (close to our table) but otherwise a perfect experience!

Great food. Very friendly staff. Food was slightly late, but we didn’t really notice it until the staff apologized. We were just enjoying the atmosphere. Excellent service. Great staff.

Beautifully decorated inside, staff was extremely pleasant. My overall frustration was not knowing that when we booked reservations for six people in the lounge that we would not be giving an actual table to seat at to eat. Instead of couch and a couple chairs around a low coffee table. We enjoyed appetizers and cocktails, but unfortunately had to go across the street to another restaurant for a sitdown dinner. Will go back but with a new understanding.
