    The food was so amazing, I am still thinking about it this next morning. The ambiance was absolutely incredible, it felt so luxurious & after posting I had multiple people asking where I was at! Our waiter was amazing, he was very attentive, personable, funny, and exceeded all expectations! I am already planning to go back!

    Great date dinner with hubby before a holiday play! The Main is gorgeous right now! 🎄Very lively and a bit noisy but to be expected in the bar area. We enjoy the energy. Food was yummy, drinks perfect. 🍸 Our waiter was very good and super friendly but stretched a bit thin… no problem because other staff members jumped in so everything arrived hot. Impressive teamwork! 👍

    Business dinner. They were very accommodating to change our table for more elbow room. The food was really delicious. The only thing was that the timing of wine bottle and wine glasses was a little late for the pace of the dinner. We’ll definitely come back.

    We came to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary and we weren't disappointed. The food was delicious and the portion was huge. The jambalaya was too spicy for us but the rest -- calamari, Rockefeller oysters, flounder and lobsters -- was superb! They even served us candle lit chocolate mouse on a platter with "Happy Anniversary" on it. What a nice surprise! Kudos to our excellent server, Daniel, who was so attentive.
