My wife and I went to celebrate my Birthday and our 42nd anniversary which we told them at the time I made the reservation. I will say my wife enjoyed her meal however I order prime rib and it was the worst I've had at a restaurant. Real challenge just to cut it. Partly my fault. I should have returned it but I waited for the server to return to ask how our meal was and the only time she returned was to give us the tab. This was our first experience there. Perhaps just an off night.

I've been there twice this week. Ambiance is hard to beat and food is certainly on par with top restaurants in Huntsville. The issue here is the aloof attitude of the main bartender. He will hardly look your way or ask if you want anything. I'm very puzzled by this and it's too bad.

Was in town for work and had a free night. Super tiny restaurant, and reservations are required. However, my colleague and I were able to sit at the bar and eat our meal. Very intimate setting. Served immediately and quickly. Ordered the fish special. It was outstanding. A lovely grouper with a vegetable ratatouille in a burre Blanc sauce. A little on the pricey side, but definitely worth it. If ever back in town, I would definitely eat here again.

Service and food were good. Had a filet and it had good flavor and was very tender. We sat outside and enjoyed nice weather.

The drinks were amazing. I would go there just for drinks alone! The selection was amazing. I loved their bourbon fig. The "regular" martini was anything but regular. The taste of juniper was incredible. The drinks were the best.We tried three appetizers: the grilled salad, the chacueterie board, and the truffle tagliatelle. All were delicious.For our meals we had the duck, 14 Oz ribeye, and the burger. The duck was the best I have had.For dessert, we tried the house-made ice cream, lemon tiramasu, and the chocolate caramel crunch cake along with their coffee and cappacino. Excellent!We will definitely be back!!! Our new favorite restaurant in Huntsville!

Let me just start by saying that the service was excellent! The food however, is mediocre at best. We dined here on Valentine’s Day where they had a set menu and my partner and I both ordered the beef wellington. Not only was it just not good, but one of our steaks was nearly well done while the other was cooked as expected, medium/medium rare. The appetizer and dessert were fine but nothing worth coming here again for. For the price point, there are several other restaurants in the area to have a much better and cheaper meal.Another side note, not sure if they typically offer valet parking all the time but the night of Valentine’s Day was a DISASTER. They had one guy parking/retrieving all the vehicles himself. All while another employee manned the podium where all the keys were kept. She was being disgustingly rude and was talking down to the poor guy. It was apparent he was doing his best given that he was doing a job by himself that clearly 3-4 people should have been doing. If you’re going to have valet parking either staff it well (especially on probably the busiest night of the year) or don’t offer it at all.

This was a great experience. The happy hour was fantastic. Our server James was outstanding, especially with his knowledge of Bourbon. The steak was delicious, and the kitchen split our meals on two separate plates. This will be a go-to spot when we return to Huntsville to visit our friends.

Great food! The menu had a good selection of meats and fish. The presentation was amazing, and the taste was on point. Rodney, the bar tender, was friendly and quick.

A nice dining establishment in downtown Huntsville. Great service all around. Our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. The drinks were well-made—I’d recommend the smoked Old Fashioned. The food was good and cooked to order. The miso glazed king salmon was delicious.

I’ll start off by saying that we had an amazing experience and the service was spectacular! The ambiance they provide is unique and their decorating abilities do not go unnoticed.Pros: Our waiter was kind and gave my husband a spot on bourbon recommendation that complement his meal perfectly. We ordered their charcuterie board which had items that complement each other beautifully. I ordered their Wagyu burger that came with Parmesan fries and a black truffle Aioli and my husband ordered the 12 oz New York Steak that came with lobster Mac and cheese and asparagus. Everything was cooked to perfection and was perfect for every bite. We ordered the tasting of chocolates for dessert that included a tiramisu, chocolate crème Brûlée and a marshmallow parfait. Our favorite being the tiramisu.Cons: we went the day after Valentine’s Day and the restaurant, although busy, was not ‘packed’. Everything just took a long time. We had to wait at least 20-25 minutes to even get my drink. The charcuterie board although amazing, only came with 5 crackers? I was confused considering there was enough cheese and meat on the board that deemed 2x that amount of crackers. For the food, again, not denying it was tasty and cooked well, was a bit lackluster for the price. My fries could have been from the Freddy’s fast food establishment and I wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference. The lobster Mac&Cheese was ok, it didn’t have anything that left you longing for more. And of the dessert, the crème brûlée top was a bit burnt and the marshmallow parfait was quite literally just Marshmallow with a raspberry and a chocolate graham cracker-esk round containing it.In conclusion, we would dine here again. More fore the service and the environment than the food itself.Parking: They offer ValetWheelchair accessibility: Some areas of the restaurant are not due to them being up a flight of stairs ( not sure if they have a elevator to provide access for Wheelchairs)

Our server was lovely and the place is beautiful. But for the price we paid the food was underwhelming to say the least. My short ribs had no seasoning and when I asked to switch the grits for risotto (which they were kind enough to offer) im pretty sure they dumped the risotto into the grits. The duck was rubbery and tasted like the little smokies sausages you'd find at a tailgate party. Maybe stick to the appetizers if you go.

First time to visit from out of town. We have an after rehearsal dinner planned there soon and decided to eat dinner and visit the upstairs banquet room. Very pleasant setting and the food and service were excellent. Only disappointment was having to sit near front door where we frequently got a rush of cold air every time the door was opened since it was a very cold night. Highly recommend the beef short rib . Family had salmon and halibut which looked amazing . We will definitely return. Reservations are a must .
