   Absolutely delicious and the staff was very accommodating. It was our Anniversary and we even received a complimentary toast of champagne. We ordered the Surf and Turf which is my favorite and had the Deviled Crab Dip as an appetizer.

   Let me start by saying this we spent about $700 for this evening. When we went it was 7:45 and they closed at 9:30. We made reservations well in advance for this time slot so ofcourse we didn’t feel like we were coming in close to closing or anything but this is how we felt. It was Sunday on valentines weekend but the restaurant was not busy, maybe 3 other visible tables. We had a party of 6 adults and 1 child. The food- for Apps-we ordered the short rib Mac and cheese, calamari, crab dip, and ceaser salad, and wings. Short ribs were amazing. Mac and cheese was not very hot or cheesy. Calamari had an amazing spicy sauce but the calamari was soft. Not Fried nearly long enough. Almost uncooked. Buffalo Wings were very very tasty almost a sweet spicy taste. Now for the crab dip-AMAZING. Wanted to order some to take home. Dinner- we ordered the baseball sirloin in medium well. Received it well done. Was very chewy. Crab cake sandwich as well as crab cake dinner was DELICIOUS. So tasty the entire table had to taste. Duck confit was extremely overcooked.. which was disappointing because I love a crispy skin on my duck. The inside was just DRY. The beet puree it was on was amazing. Very tasty and slightly sweet. NY Strip was delicious. Seasoned well and cooked to perfection. Dessert-crème brulee was ok. Would not order again. Ice cream scoop $3.. eh. What can you do. Now for the service. Left much much much to be desired. When we first arrived we were seated quickly. But our service actually started that morning. A text confirmation we replied too.. then a few hours later a phone call Confirmation as well.. which is fine. We realized it was a booth so on the phone we requested a table due to one guests mobility issues. We were told They were completely booked so a booth was all they had.. ok no worries.. but remember we arrived and almost Every table was open. THEN at 6 we received ANOTHER CALL letting us know our reservation time was strict and if we arrive mo

   Absolutely one of the best steak dinners and dining experiences we have enjoyed. The steak was perfect in every way and complimented with delicious sides and topped with a crab/lobster/bearnaise! The sommelier paired the dinner with a modest robust red much to our liking. The wait staff was superior. Highly recommended.

   Great food, service and atmosphere. The fillet was perfect. Crème brûlée was delicious for dessert. Six cheese Mac and cheese was also very good.

   For what I paid ($311) the food was not good at all. I wasn’t expecting the regular menu to change because it was Valentine’s Day, but definitely was not good. The room upstairs where we were seated was cold and and just didn’t feel warm and romantic as I thought it should had been especially it being for valentine’s. My date and I were seated at a big round table and it just felt like we were so far apart from each other. Their waiter was ok and very polite and he did try to make our experience better. Very disappointing with our experience.

   Food was great for the valentines day menu. The shrimp cocktail could have been better, felt like it was kind of just a filler for one of the courses required. The rest of the courses were amazing. Wish we had a downstairs table, the conference room upstairs felt strange.

    It’s by far the best steak restaurant we’ve been to in the 757. Aside, my wife had the duck/beet confit and it was a 10/10 as well. We were happy to celebrate our occasion at such a nice place. Look forward to coming back.
