    Everything was outstanding. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles. We were shown to our tables and with two smalls kids, we were first asked if the table was acceptable. This felt like a breath of fresh air- to have others validate the concern of table space and comfortability when dining with your kids. Our waiter, Mike, was patient and kind to my kids. He told us about all the specials and drink options he thought we’d enjoy. He told us his favorites which swayed us in to ordering the potato spuds for an appetizer. There was no hesitation after the first bite that Mike did not steer us wrong. Our entrees were cooked to perfection. We ordered drinks, based on Mikes recommendations, that were customized to our celebrations (birthday and new years). This made us feel like Mike really took the time out to make sure we had the best experience possible. During our dessert, another server Dan, stopped by our table to wish us a happy birthday and to acknowledge how well behaved my kids were being. I appreciate coming to a restaurant where we can eat amazing food, have really great drinks, and have an over the top experience. Thank you Mike and 618 for a perfect night for my family.

    Outstanding all around. Each dish was tasty and served with the right level of accompaniments that let the main part of the plate stand on its own. The steaks were cooked as they should be and seasoned just right and not over salted as has been the trend these days. The raw oysters were fresh, clean and tasty as were rhetorical other appetizers and the tuna tartar is a must try. If you partake, the drinks are a must as the bartenders know their profession and create great tasting unique drinks as well as they do the old standards. Excellent experience and tbank you to the accommodating and polite staff!
