Absolutely amazing experience! I have one suggestion. It was our anniversary and they brought out a small cake like desert. Which was nice but I would recommend not serving this. Little Debbie snack cakes are better. The food was amazing, appetizers, sides and main course. To serve this to us at the end is embarrassing for this five star establishment. We ended ordering the crème brûlée and it was amazing like everything else.

Extraordinary experience from beginning to end. The maitre d’ recognized our request for a bourbon tasting with dinner and made sure to seat us at a table in Ross’s section. Ross was a delight. Funny, efficient, and knowledgeable with the menu and especially the bourbon. After asking us questions on type, style, price, he created a tasting that was perfect beginning to end. I am going to dream about my halibut main course and my husband raved about the Caesar salad. We will definitely be back when we come to town.

We went for our work Christmas dinner and loved the food as always. Our server was very nice and patient with us as we had two ppl that hadn’t been there and answered all their questions and got everything they needed. So happy to see George serving!! I see him every time and he’s always so nice and says hi to me. He’s always in a positive and upbeat mood. Can’t wait to come back again for dinner
