Service? Great. Atmosphere? Great. Food? Not very good. Most food was either over or under cooked, swimming in oil, or swimming in cheese. Place just isn't for me. I won't be back for anything more than cocktails with visitors/tourists and won't be making any recommendations for anything more.... Google asked what food I would recommend? I wouldn't recommend anything I had. The bisque was swimming in oil, the risotto was undercooked, lobster - overcooked. Seems like people like the steak - but that's the easiest thing to make.

We came here for the first time for my wifes birthday after hearing about this place from others in town as to how good the food was and how cool this place was. I loved the chocolate cake desert, meal was good or so we thought ... More on that in a minute. Atmosphere was fun, service was good, and cocktails were good. I had the prime rib not the best prime rib but not terrible with french onion soup. Wife had mussels and pork chop. Left the restaurant and within a couple hours my wife was very ill from apparent food poisoning. Something wasn't either fresh or cooked correctly. Sent a message to the restaurant and only got a sorry to hear that. With no offer of another meal on them to make it up for getting us sick.... Spent $260 all said and done on the visit and not a great first impression... May be a while before we revisit after that this experience especially when we really enjoy CAMPO in the same part of town and have been there 3-4 times with no food poisoning issues and an equally good atmosphere and service.

Outstanding service! Warm, cozy ambiance. But the rib eye was awful; half of it was gristle. I ate what I could and took the rest home for my dog.

We had the scallops and they were awesome, Lampchops were flavorful sweet potatoes and spinach were also great! My boyfriends Filet minion needed more flavor. At the end they gave him(for his bday) a nice bunt cake that had nuts pineapple and coconut topped with whip and a lemon gell for free. The drinks are strong I recommend the bees-knees with egg whites. All in all a great night wonderful atmosphere and wonderfull service (thank u michael) we will be back! Cheddar risotto was fantastic 2! Plenty of diabetic friendly options!

Would be nice to actually be able to get a reservation. I called 2 weeks in advance and was told basically to kick rocks. We won't attempt this place again.

Such a fun experience overall. The food is also other worldly. I think everyone should try this place at least once (but I’m sure you’ll want to go back multiple times like I now do)

Dining at this place is awesome. The ambience, staff and food make it great. Every party pretty much has their own private space and though you can hear other guests around you and see people passing back and forth, it's very intimate. Our party of 4 had a great time. We'll definitely be back.

The big party could have been a little quieter. I didn't like sitting so close to the entrance/exit door. There were a lot of empty tables they could have sat us at.The waitress was the best ever! The steaks were almost cooked to perfection. The appetizers are too big. Great night altogether.Parking: There's plenty of parking on the street and next to neighboring businesses. Plenty of lights as well.

Ambiance was great. Service was extremely slow. Food totally over cooked and over salted. Everyone at the table sent their meals back to the kitchen. I had not been served my meal by the time the others had finished their meals and had the leftovers packed up. So I told them just pack it to go. I expected much better.

We hoped for a special evening, and it was exactly that. Food, service, great jazz pianist playing at sound level that allowed for conversation, no rushing us - couldn't have asked for more.

This is an old school steak house with a kitschy theme. The interior is nothing special and the face that the artwork on the walls is for sale in a spot that is quite expensive seems in poor taste. However, the food tasted good and the service was exceptional.

Amazing dinner and ambience. Can't wait to have a reason to go back.
