   Our Host was welcoming and kind. A wonderful first impression! This was our first time visiting and we can’t wait to come back. Looking forward to hosting our wedding reception here with our family. Our waiter was 10/10 Stars - my grandma raved about him the whole way home. Polite, knowledgeable about the menu, easy going. * Bonus * another server helped by taking a family photo for us. We will be back soon!

   Our server seemed to be occupied with other duties besides waiting on us. I don’t know if servers work more than one dinning room at a time or not. Our sever only had one other table besides ours. I asked if I could order the shrimp and grits and was told brunch was over. Not sure I could not be accommodated since grits was the side for a number of entrees and shrimp was available for add on.

   Bar atmosphere was good. Was seated before reservation time which was great. Was poured water and had to wait 20-30 minutes before flagging another waitress to take are of us. They were sold of of most of the food on the specialized valentines menu. Prior to us completing our dinner they were taking up chairs and tables making us feel rushed to complete our dinner. I don’t feel that I would recommend this restaurant to anyone celebrating a special occasion. Might be a fine night to sit in the bar but otherwise I don’t feel they were prepared to handle a large crowd. Second waitress was good and attended to our needs. Never saw the original waitress again.

   The menu was changed to a set menu for Valentine’s Day that was not mentioned before sitting at the table. The prices were upcharged considerably. We walked out right after glancing at the menu

   we were not prepared to only have four items on the main entrée menu. The prices were really high. We expected to walk in and have the same menu we’ve always had. My wife was extremely upset that they didn’t have the salad that she always got. She was very excited about that salad. there should’ve been some kind of poster information made that it was not going to be their original menu and if it wasn’t going to be the original menu, we could at least have the option of getting the original menu.

   The only reason we gave 5 stars for service was because 6 stars was not an option! We make this a Valentine tradition and are never disappointed.

   The Valentine’s night experience wasn’t up to par for this restaurant. We were seated in an event room rather than the usual dining areas due to overflow. Making the reservation via the OpenTable app, I didn’t see that there was a fix priced menu for a three course meal and had planned to eat my usual selections. It was too much food, not anything I couldn’t create in my own kitchen, and we spent more than usual on a disappointing experience. (Of note, one woman at another table had to exit the room, go into the rain and use the main restrooms. There wasn’t any way else to get to them.) To be specific: Tables weren’t set, they were somewhat akimbo, no view, chairs were being moved about because the four-tops didn’t all have four chairs. We had three menus, not enough, and the table wasn’t ready. I don’t enjoy posting a poor review, but my feedback would be that the restaurant doesn’t take more reservations than normal, which severely diluted the experience. I haven’t decided whether to let this one go due to poor planning or go back in the future. This night made me miss Dallas dining.

   Me and my husband went out for valentines dinner here and it was subpar. I think the appetizer was the best part of the courses. The risotto was undercooked and the fish was fatty. Also we were put in the wine room which was cold and we also had to walk all the way to the bathroom in the main area which was inconvenient. For the price of the dinner I would save my money and go to a different restaurant.
