Our server was outstanding, let’s start there. Bisque came out less than lukewarm. No flavor. Bits of shell in bowl. Salmon was cooked on a cedar plank. Very good. Green beans and masked potatoes were almost too salty to eat. Sirloin looked overdone not medium. Sausage was too salty to eat. Would we come back, probably not.

This was an anniversary dinner, my first visit. My wife had been previously but it had been a while ago. Our waiter Tre was excellent, very good sense of timing. We ordered a very nice Cabernet and started with the grilled romaine salad. It was exceptional, well prepared with a great dressing and generous bacon and Gorgonzola. I ordered a medley with a petite fillet, blackened shrimp, andouille sausage and garlic mashed potatoes. The fillet was slightly overcooked but still tender and flavorful. My wife had the salmon with fingerling potatoes and green beens. Again the salmon was slightly overcooked but still enjoyable. We finished with a generous portion of triple chocolate cake which was outstanding.

The service was awful. The waitress poured my wine into my water glass, that had Pelligrino in it still. She placed the wrong order for my entree, then it was quick fired and the filets served raw and cold in the middle. The manager brought them out to us and told me I could finish cooking them at home, to which we said no thanks. Took nearly 25 minutes to get an order of oysters, which is most likely because she forgot to put the order in. Great service and average food will get people back in the doors; awful service and sub par food isn't it.

We drive from Dayton just to go here. We live near a Fleming’s…but there is no comparison. Great quality food and excellent service. Mark, our server, was awesome. Very efficient and helpful. I guess that’s what you get when the server has been with the company for 14 years. I had the Chopped Salad and French Onion Soup. The broth of the soup was the best I’ve had. My parents had lamb, which was great too. Really, really pleased with our experience.
