I’ve been before and it was a great experience. But when I went again, it was not great overall. There was a long hair found in the Mac and cheese that ruined the rest of the dinner for me. The Mac and cheese was also watery and not the same as it was a few months ago. We were comped the Mac and cheese but I just couldn’t get that experience to leave me for the rest of the dinner. I feel the quality of the food definitely was not the same as it was when I went a few months ago and was not worth it for me.

The waitress was very nice and kept checking on us. Our table was very wobbly. So trying to cut steak and pork chop was a challenge. When cutting the pork chop because of the table my husband got food all over his shirt. The food and drinks were delicious.

Nice if loud place for a meal. Glad the garage was in the same building because of the weather, but we didn't linger because we were cold and couldn't hear each other over the music.

The food was ok, but definitely overpriced and not presented as a $70 steak should be. Both my husband and I were freezing and had to keep our coats on. The music was too loud. The menu is very small and if you want fish, you better like salmon because that’s all they have. The only positive thing I have to say is the waitress was absolutely amazing. We will not be back.

My husband and I celebrated our Valentine’s Day with dinner here last night. We have been here once before and loved it. Last night the food was not what we had experienced before. I ordered the surf and turf special. The steak didn’t have any flavor and the baked potato was the driest thing I ever had. My husband ordered the beef Wellington, which he had gotten before and it definitely was not worth the $127. We won’t be back for a long time unfortunately.

Service and ambiance were nice but food was underwhelming. Bone marrow was too sweet, papperdelle was undercooked, collards just tasted off, and steak was salty. We have had better at Meat and Potatoes and would likely return as it may have just been an off night.
