    Bar side seats were not the most desirable but they worked out - service was good. Waiter tried to make a joke using a play on words with my last name… fell flat. But he was otherwise attentive and helpful. Food was above average and drinks were ever well made.

    We have the best time at your bar rail. So many interesting people to meet. Kristina does a wonderful job of introducing people. The bar bites are an excellent value before 6:30pm and very delicious. The chop salad that we split was really “over the top” full of goodies and delicious!! Whoever is the salad maker has really stepped up the salad game. My oysters Rockefeller were the absolute best. I think they are one of the best in Fort Wayne. Many thanks to the whole staff for a wonderful evening. 💛

    First time eating here. we went on a Tuesday at 5 o’clock it was wonderful. We were the only ones in there for the first 20 minutes. It was quiet. Our food was prompt and warm and delicious. Couldn’t ask for a better meal. Megan C. was our waitress. She was great. She told us all her favorites and what other people seem to like from the menu. we went with a fillet with lobster claw on top. A bourbon ribeye the lobster, corn, brisk soup and and the Asian potstickers wow so good and then for dessert, we got the cognac brownie which they set on fire at our table and melted a bunch of chocolates on top of it while it was on fire very fun display and so so scrumptious!!

    Great evening meal with August taking great care of us. August had an entire bar rail of happy looking people! Whoever made the chopped salad did a fantastic job, it was over the top good. Oliver was wonderful running the food. Our plates came out very hot and perfectly cooked.
