We had a gift certificate which was great; prices were on the high side but true to form and advertising, the meal was spectacular; caesar salad, lobster bisque, ahi tuna and pecan encrusted salmon (cooked perfectly rare as I requested). Our waiter Nick was attentive but not overbearing. We had cocktails before dinner; a French Blond and a Bourbon Manhattan, perfect. This is a special place to enjoy an excellent eating experience.

This is long been one of my favorite restaurants, but it was our first visit in 2025. Our service was exceptional! Everything from the greeting when we arrive to our wonderful waitress. The menu selection was terrific and varied. The presentation of our food was particularly artistic, which is something I hadn’t noticed in prior visits. Everything was delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Birthday dinner for my boyfriend and it was an excellent choice, so glad I made advanced reservations. The food was phenomenal and the turn around time from order to delivery was surprisingly quick. The Rib Eye was done perfectly and we can’t recommend enough, already planning out next visit and what we want to try next time.
