    Prime rib and fillet mignon were fabulous. Halibut was terribly overcooked, but everything did have a delicious taste.

    I always enjoy my dinning experience here, wonderful service & tasty food. Only disappointment today, was it wasn’t decorated yet for Christmas. We had a ladies day of holiday shopping & selected this place thinking it would be all festive & ready for the holidays.

    Was very excited to dine here as we are new to the area. My suggestion would be to use plate covers because the food wasn’t very hot. Tables are tight fitted in some sections. We kept being bumped into. Bread pudding was amazing!!

    Great atmosphere for dinner. Room was a bit noisy due to a large group but was very pleasant once they left. Filet was cooked to order and was very flavorful. Definitely will visit again when we are in the area.

    Great date night experience! We sat in the cozy bar area where there were clearly several regulars. The fried green tomatoes, schnitzel special, and the shrimp and grits were all fantastic. Service was great; thanks, Greg! We’ll definitely be back and recommend to our friends.
