    My fiance and I were in town for his birthday and wanted to have a nice dinner to celebrate! Martini was phenomenal. I had the house dirty martini and the stuffed olives were to die for. My fiancé had an old fashioned and said it was good as well. The loaded focaccia is out of this world!!!! We both got the tenderloin main entree and it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. 10/10 will be coming back to Columbus for dinner here again!

    We had our date night at the restaurant. We were excited to see the restaurant after the renovations, however we didnt notice a big change. The service is always amazing and the food is delicious. Our server was great and made us feel welcome. Our appetizers and bread were delicious, my husband’s filet meal was great. I ordered the mushroom cavatelli, the menu didnt say really what the dish was about. I think if you like a strong beef flavor it is the dish for you. I am a vegetarian and thought the dish was mushroom friendly and tasted like mushrooms. I was sad that it felt like I was eating meat. Our server noticed I wasnt enjoying my meal and stepped in. The alla de vodka was what i decided on and was totally worth it. I couldn’t stop eating it. We finished our meal and texted the valet for our car. That is when we were getting upset. We waited 25 minutes for our car in the cold when the text said 7 minutes. When our car appeared the mileage was 20 miles less than when we dropped it off and the car smelled like someone smoked or vaped weed. We will never again use the valet.

    Had not been in many years. We sat at a high top that was not level and when you leaned on the table it moved enough to spill water from our glasses. Although our server said they tried to fix it. It did not help. Beautiful refresh of the space. Food was average. We ordered the garlic bread and it was mostly covered with cheese and no real flavor to the dipping sauce. Drinks were good. Server was very good.

    Kevin is the best. We always ask for him when we come there because the service is unsurpassed.

    Food was amazing, but service was a little strange. Server would ask some people what they wanted, but not all and then would come back for the rest.

    The new look is nice and warm; very old steakhouse vibe! Menu changes are a money grab but the food is still delicious. Our server, who has waited on us before, was fabulous! We didn’t request him but we’re lucky enough to be seated in his section. The 4 of us enjoyed him and the “new” Martini an we’ll definitely recommend.
