   Our party of nine dined for lunch in the middle room, next to the bar. Hardly any other diners were there so we had the room all to ourselves, which was wonderful. The wait staff was excellent—very accommodating and kind. Everyone was quite happy with their meals. Two of us had the hanger steak with a wedge salad. All of it tasted great. The steak was very tasty and cooked to perfection. A few had a hamburger. Again, delicious. Everyone liked the assortment ment of desserts we ordered. My only complain—$37 for salad and a very small steak is quite pricey.

   The spiced tuna sandwich was delicious. The salmon added to the chopped wedge salad was also wonderful. The service is attentive.

   The service was exceptionally fast and friendly. The king & rye drink was our favorite. Will be going back to try the other drinks. The steak was cooked to perfection as well as our other dishes. The food left or mouths watering and craving for more. The lighting wasn't too bright which gave our dining experience for 2 an intimate ambiance.

   We had such a fun date night! The drinks and food were absolutely incredible. They did run out of a few items we were excited to try, which was a bit disappointing, but our second choices ended up being amazing, so it worked out. Can’t wait to go back!

   The experience was very strained from the start. We had reservations for 7PM for a party of 4 to celebrate a 50th birthday. We were punctual and waited 10 minutes for them to seat us outside. There were heaters, but it was still very cold. At about 50 minutes after our reservation time we had still not ordered. I sought out the hostess and manager and asked what we could expect. They said there were challenges due to large Christmas Parties - which should be expected on a Saturday evening in December. That seemed like a lack of planning but we just wanted to enjoy this highly recommended restaurant. We finally ordered after being there for an hour, and waited about another hour for our entrees. The entire situation was difficult as the waiter was being very professional and polite, but the experience was terrible. Waiting two hours for food, with it being cold under a heater and blanket. It was just not ideal. The food arrived and was absolutely fantastic. The meal was one of the best we have ever had, and the cheesecake was amazing. I cannot rave enough about the food and presentation. I would hope this was a “one-off” of a bad experience and would certainly give this restaurant another shot. There was a comp made for the desserts which was nice, but we were not upset about the food or the price - it was just a very poor experience.
