    I’ve read a good bit of bad reviews, service wise, and I’ve come here to say both times I’ve dined here the service was great! Especially this past dinner experience with Ryan M. Sweet potato brioche bread with cane syrup butter is a must. My husband very much enjoyed his steak and the fried pork chop was very interesting flavor wise.

    Sadly we wanted to try the whole fried chicken . My bad, they were only serving brunch and my reservation was for 1:30. Checking out today so the manager did manage to have the chef accommodate us and made buttermilk fried chicken with biscuit a la carte. Chicken was juicy in the inside and crispy on the outside. Wow! The biscuit was amazing. Will have to come back for the whole fried chicken.

    While I would love to leave a better review based off the food, which is phenomenal, the service was so lacking and so poor, I cannot recommend someone coming here. I have dined here before and had a great experience, but my most recent visit was truly shocking. Considering the price point of the food and the location in the gorgeous Four Seasons, we expected to be served with any level of speed and genuine care. We felt ignored all night, had to request to order multiple times, waited over 20 minutes for our drinks to be brought, and were sat in the wine nook while every single staff member walked around us and ignored us as well. The food is truly outstanding but the poor service makes this place a miss which is truly saddening.

    If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, look no further! This restaurant has it all—amazing live musicians that set the perfect mood with 50s-style outfits and delightful tunes, creating an atmosphere that takes you back in time. The tile floors, mirrored glass bar, and details beyond details make this an incredible delight for ambience! The drinks were exceptional, with a Bloody Mary bar and champagne cart adding extra flair to the experience. But the true showstopper was the flaming espresso martini cart—it was simply unforgettable! Our server, Michael, was an absolute gem. He anticipated every need with professionalism and warmth, making the entire experience seamless and special. Ironically, we come for GALentine’s weekend every year, and Michael has been our server annually! And the food—wow! Every dish was out of this world (sweet potato brioche with sugar cane butter, blue crab au gratin and house-made crackers, ham and beignet board), leaving us craving more. From start to finish, the attention to detail and top-tier service made this one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. So much so that we come back every year! Highly, highly recommend!
