Someone entered the restaurant with a dog. I asked to see the manager, the manager indicated the individual had a card indicating the dog was an emotional support animal. I know those cards can be purchased online, the dog did not have a vest on. I'm not against emotional support dogs, but in a restaurant with clearly no vest was a little disturbing. Will think twice before dining there again. I usually rent the private space for a holiday gathering of over 20 people, looking for a new venue for 2024.

Everyone was very friendly, however, it took over two hours for our food to arrive. Other parties were coming and going and we did not get our order. When it arrived one of the dishes was wrong. We wound up being there for three hours for mediocre food. The manager was very helpful and the waiter was very nice.

Very disappointed - will never go back. Our waitress was friendly though! However, the food was terrible. Our entrees took a long time to arrive and when they did, both were cold. In fact, my risotto had started to gel on top, the scallops and shrimp were barely edible. My husband ordered the tomahawk ribeye, it was flavorless. Whatever the concoction of potatoes he ordered were also crusty and also tasted bad. The espresso martini was good... someone asked my husband if he wanted to take his steak home, he declined and then was offered to be compensated for the steak with a drink. That was nice of them, but at that point, we just wanted the bill so we could leave.

We were very slow to be greeted but then the service was good after that. Food was slow to come out but all of the dishes were hot and tasted good. Overall fine experience, nothing particularly extraordinary.

It was a wonderful event for my mother's 95th birthday on Sunday at 4:30. Biscuits for the table were our first food. We had the Brussels sprouts, flaming crab dip, French onion soup, lamb shanks, rib eye sandwich, red brick chicken and pasta with butternut squash and sausage. Also ordered were the strawberry tea and lemonade. My friend's lamb was cooked perfectly without any red. Mom got a warm brownie ala mode with birthday candle for dessert. Service was very prompt with no long gaps and kudos to Ben as a great waiter! We've got a new restaurant now.

Great food and ambiance. One issue a young lady at the bacon counter took bacon to the back to cook longer. Told her where we were sitting. She said ok however she never returned with the bacon. Had to ask again.
Great date night experience. The service was excellent. The food and drinks were good. We were able to finish dinner and grab some more drinks at the bar and listen to the live music!

This is a really great restaurant with great ambience. The drinks are well made and strong. The food was good. The only thing that didn't quite match was the music. With the style of the restaurant I think a jazz infusion of music would have been perfect. What was playing mostly reminded me of Texas Roadhouse and that just doesn't fit the atmosphere of the restaurant. Overall it definitely is worth visiting.

African American waiter only serving other African American customers that just got sat down and ignoring all others waiting 20 minutes. I had to go to front desk and ask manager to get the waiter to even come to the table only to get attitude. I left without eating.
First time customer to celebrate my husband's bday. Appetizers were good. However, our main course was not as expected nor requested and we waited over 30 minutes. Our server was nice. Ordered prime rib well done, when it came out it was just steak on a plate literally no garnish no sides which was potatoes and squash , was told that our sides were being plated and they brought it out eventually, it was bland, my steak was not cooked correctly, I sent it back twice. Nor was my husband's steak which was also supposed to be well done. Manager came out to address the issue, offered other items from the menu, "to make it better" I ordered Short ribs, to go as my party was finished eating at this point. Bill came out no adjustments made, paid full price for the short ribs. That food was also bland. Not a great first-time experience!

Service was outstanding, thanks Sam. Ambiance was great. The food was average or below. Average: bacon steak. Below average: pasta with chicken, shrimp and sausage; french onion soup. Inedible: kale salad. Love local restaurants and maybe will try again in a few months to see if kitchen has changed, but this was a frustrating and disappointing first-time experience for both of us (again, save for the service!).

Before I leave a scathing review, I will say that it was a very busy night, and our waitress was either fairly new or just bad. She had three tables. She walks up to our table and says “Don't know what you want?” When she realized what she did, she then asked if we had been there before...never told us about any specials but proceeded to tell the next table (we could hear her) about the specials. Ordered a steak (which she recommended). Took 45 mins for food to come out. My steak was supposed to be medium. It was well and I had no steak knife. In addition, it was not hot. Husband ordered snake pasta and it was decent. Took the steak off the bill but at that point, my dinner was ruined (after 7 p.m.) and I just wanted to leave. The waitress then approaches the table and says “Yeah I heard you say your steak was well done. I will get the manager. He takes care of all that...and proceeds to say “I told them the right thing.” Not a great experience but I will say the crab soup was great and the Brussel sprouts were tasty. The steak was taken off the bill, and the manager brought hot snake pasta (which he saw me sharing with my husband) for us to take home. In all fairness, we will try it one more time to see if they can redeem themselves. It's great having a farm to table restaurant in the area.

The food and cocktails were excellent. The server was attentive and didn't throw us out since we were there 4 hours. The restaurant was consistently crowded, but it was a Saturday afternoon. Can't wait to return for the Sunday Brunch.

We were very excited to eat here. We almost left after the hostess was very rude. Luckily our waitress made up for it. Emma was very nice, knowledgeable and helpful. The food was delicious. Overall glad we stayed.
