Overall it was an amazing dining experience. Our server Ryan was attentive and friendly, and the the ambiance was relaxing and fun at the same time because they had a someone playing the saxophone live in the restaurant. The food was brought out in a timely manner and the lamb that we got was cooked to the exact temperature we wanted. Looking forward to visiting here again next time.

I never write comments but I am extremely dissatisfied with our experience. Slow service and very slow to receive food. First order, Filet Mignon “Medium” received “Rare”. Second order, Filet Mignon “Medium Well”, received “Medium Rare”. They shouldn’t get the temperature wrong when they are charging almost double the average price. Host did not inform us that soft drinks were not refillable, until we received the bill, $40 later…just for soda… Made 40 minute mistake by ordering dessert. Did I mention how slow they are? We will never go back.

The food was excellent but the service was terrible! Slow service , had to wait for water, beverages and when offered bread they forgot! Refills on beverages and wine was only obtained after flagging down the hostess who ended up arriving us. No communication with front of house staff and bartender! The lamb, prime rib and sides were excellent. The wedge salad was “ok” - the only menu item that was just ok. For the pricing I would have to think about other choices in town and we thought about it when making the reservation but wanted to give this restaurant a try. Here’s why - no apologies and no attempt to make the service better!
