    The menu has approximately 10 items in the Main section. We were promptly told they were out of the Ribeye...really? You are in a major city and there must be a vendor nearby. After we ordered the food, it took over an hour for it to arrive. When it did arrive the server had cleared the silverware but not brought fresh forks, knifes, etc. The server did not offer fresh lemonade to my kids. Just overall very sloppy service. As a service recovery for the delayed food they offered to bring us some bread (even after we told him several people in the group were trying to eat gluten free). Seriously! The hanging bacon over cornbread was delicious. Everything else was just average at best. Avoid if you are discerning in the slightest.

    Excellent service without being intrusive. Our waiter physically moved our table because we were getting dripped on by the air conditioner. Delicious food. 4 friends shared the hanging bacon and cornbread cupcakes appetizer (delicious), the pecan crusted goat cheese and citrus salad, and the Fisherman’s Stew. All large portions for sharing and very good!

    First experience here with my fiancé. Overall nice atmosphere and amazing service for the most part. We waited quite a while for our food considering they didn’t seem that busy. We ordered the filet and the lobster rock shrimp carbonara. Carbonara was extremely watery, lacked flavor and had hardly any protein considering the price. The filet was actually very good but when my dish arrived the potato was literally fresh out of the fridge and ice cold. Had to wait almost 15 minutes just for them to bring out a potato that was hot and still just seemed so pre-made and not fresh. Disappointed considering over a $300 bill. We did not complain and paid or our bill , but surprised they didn’t offer for a complimentary beverage or something. When you’re paying top dollar you should expect more from a quality restaurant. Overall will probably not be dining here again.
