   The cocktails are fantastic! I've tried a handful of them and all were spot on! The portions are more than enough, and the quality of food is amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone who asks.

   Fixed menu price $95\person but they ran out of all food except a few choices left to choose. We had to wait forever to check in, getting the orders and forever for the food to come out, plus the food was cold by the time it got to the table. Worst Valentine's dinner experience ever!

   Poor experience overall. Stagg complaining about being busy, very loudly multiple times. No water given after asked 4 times, food was warm at best, rice was crunchy, dessert was just awful...not edible more than just tasting. Very disappointing

   Service was beyond poor. No drinks, food served easily 10 minutes before they brought silverware, out of items ordered, quality tasted like cafeteria food. Do NOT go...$300 dollar dinner for two on a special occasion and we'd have done better at Applebee's. All the tables had the same experience...the customers were all mad.

   Seemed very disorganized. Many diners around us were being brought food that wasn’t theirs or was too early. Our drinks sat empty and plates weren’t cleared. My husband’s prime rib was way over cooked and significantly smaller than other diners. The food was mediocre at best. Very disappointed for the price we paid for the meal. We won’t be back.

   Food was ok. Not sure everything I had was prepared fresh. Was my crusted chicken frozen? Maybe. Also pepper jelly in my old fashioned was an idea I thought I might like. But no. Not good.

   We have never been here, but what a GREAT EXPERIENCE and FOOD. Atmosphere was warm and cozy. The staff was wonderful, prices were reasonable, portions were spot on, the food was simply DELICIOUS. Also, the owner came out (who was warm, friendly, and sincere), spoke to the patrons to make sure everything was to their liking. A MUST STOP!
