We were celebrating our anniversary. The service was exceptional. The food was perfect! Loved the roaming saxophone player. We both agreed that we could not have asked for anything! It was always anticipated!

This is a fantastic eatery with great food, long bourbon list, and great staff. We came in the middle of the week, so it was a little slower, but it was a fantastic experience. Appetizers and dishes are great with a number of fantastic options. The hotel and eatery have a great feel and personality. We spent some time out at the bar after which had great seating, drink options, and an attentive staff.
