    I had a great night here for my 21st birthday. Our Waitresses and Waiters not only did their job, but they went above and beyond and made me feel special. Thank you!

    I told him I didn’t wanna be sat near the kitchen or the bathroom and the eventually put us there telling us that’s the only table that’s available, but there was more available and not only that we felt like we were being rushed out. I had a better time at Ruth Chris next-door, I’ve received I more respect and with dignity and felt more appreciated next-door than at this restaurant.

    Very nice place to go to have a couple drinks before show walking distance to most things downtown including Hanover theater. Less than a half a mile walk. Tonight there was an ice storm and they were severely understaffed, but it did not affect the quality of the service and the attentiveness of the wait staff. Everybody was on their game tonight and it was a very enjoyable evening.

    Our food was excellent. Restaurant was bustling but not overly busy. Waited a long time to be seated even though we had a reservation and waited a painfully long time before a waitress arrived at the table. One meal came out well before the others and one came well after the others.

    Absolutely loved it here. Went with friends and enjoyed the igloo experience. Food and drinks were impeccable, as was our waitress, Dakota. Can’t wait to come back and try the interior. New favorite restaurant!
