    Decor was stunning & also decorated for Christmas. Service lacked on the 2nd floor but food was delicious. Chilean Sea Bass was cooked just right & the spinach salad was fresh. Scallops with mushroom risotto was throughly enjoyed. We did have drinks at the bar prior to dinner & the bartender when he finally acknowledged us made a really fabulous martini & Cosmo. We would definitely come back.

    Our waitress was delightful. Food was delicious. Drinks from the bar were a little slow but it was a Friday night. Would definitely recommend.

    The food at The Tobacco Company is always very good and the service is consistently outstanding. It seems no matter who our server is we are always treated like welcome guests by the entire front of the house staff. Our server, Bekah, as well as the other front of the house staff, kept their eyes on our table and we never had to wait to have a plate cleared or a glass refilled. We especially appreciate our server paying attention to our table and timing our courses such that we never have more than one course at a time on our table. We never feel rushed or ignored at The Tobacco Company which makes an evening out for dinner seem like a special occasion.

    One of out holiday traditions is to have drinks and dinner at the Tobacco Company. It is always so festive! The waitress that served our drinks in the bar area was very friendly and attentive. WE then proceeded upstairs for dinner. The food was exceptional and the service was excellent! We look forward to our next visit!!
