    The food was great, but the service was poor. Server did not bring bread to the table with salad. In fact we were halfway finished our entrees when bread finally arrived. Server did not bring steak knives until we were halfway finished eating our steak with a regular dinner knife. Thank goodness it was a tender filet, but it was still much easier to cut with the steak knife. We also weren't offered fresh cracked pepper on our salad.

    We celebrated our anniversary with friends and family. The restaurant's ambiance is great. We had an early reservation, which was nice because it was quieter then. The price was a bit steep, and the service was slow to get started, but then fine. Overall we had a great experience. Food was absolutely fabulous.

    We arrived about 30 minutes early for our reservation and the hostess suggested we wait at the bar. We found a table and the view of the center of restaurant was absolutely beautiful with the Christmas trees and lights. Service was slow from cocktail waitress and I was disappointed that she brought my husband’s beer in a can and no glassware for the beer. This felt like we were at a college bar. My grapefruit cosmo martini was delicious! We were sat about 10 minutes after our initial reservation time on the second floor rail at a table for two. Again, I just loved our table. Our server was excellent and attentive! We started with soups and each had an entree. The food was excellent! We will be back!

    Decorated very nicely for the holidays. Food was amazing. We grabbed a drink at the bar before dinner and those were great. Ordered the same drinks at dinner and they were not made at the downstairs bar. Both drinks originally had vodka but the second ones were made with gin so we asked for them to be remade. We were then charged for the bad drinks and trying to get our server to correct the check took over 20 minutes. Felt like they were trying to pass off crappy drinks and sneak in charges thinking we would not pay attention to the check.
