very slow staff we have been sitting for 15-20 minutes already me wife and son one employee did not come up to me does not ask to offer you anything or not. The girl who walks so slowly does not even look maybe we need something maybe we want to eat but very hungry and I feel that I will have to sit here for an hour the second waffle after eating

The worst service you can imagine. 45 min after being seated we received our flat non carbonated Pepsi. After 1 hr and 15 min the Caesar salad that looked like it came out of a store bought bag came out. My husband ordered the rib eye and I had the filet mignon, neither of us had more than 2 bites of either. Same with the lobster Mac. You are better off literally anywhere else. They want this place to be upscale but it's not..

Food was good. Service seriously lacked. Server lacked training on menu and wine. Took 15 minutes to be acknowledged and took longer to get service throughout the dining experience. Great location and has good potential. Just need some training

The service was pretty spotty here although there was only one other table of customers in the restaurant when we arrived. I think the wait staff tried hard but it seemed liked they were pulled into doing things in the bar area as well. It took awhile to get a cocktail order in and we had to asked multiple times for water, reminders about our orders, etc. The bar area was very busy and loud. You could hear the din from the bar but every time the door opened to the adjoining bar it was super loud and there was also a baby's screams coming from the other end where there wasn't a door. One member of our party ordered the scallop dish with fava beans saying she doesn't love scallops but wanted the beans, which are unusual on a menu. When the dish came, no beans, they didn't have any. My medium rare $48 steak was overdone. The kitchen just didn't hit the mark. Overall, a good but not great fine dining experience.

Great time here with a party of 10. Everything we ordered was very good. The filet and the elk were great. Oysters were excellent. Only wish they had the mushroom ravioli but they were out. Highly recommend this place.

Went here for an anniversary dinner and was not impressed. Our waiter repeatedly forgot to bring us our bread even though the entire restaurant was pretty much empty. The salmon was very fishy tasting/not good quality and not worth the high price. The cocktails were good but those are from the bar next door so you don’t need to go to the Bistro to get those. For a $200 dinner I recommend going elsewhere.

Beautiful experience! I took my mom for a nice holiday dinner - we started with the pork belly with a nice pairing of strawberry salad. For entrees, we had the mushroom ravioli and the scallops - yum! Cooked perfectly, and the sauces were rich and flavorful, will definitely order these again! We passed on dessert, but a bottle of New Zealand Sauv Blanc was perfection as we delighted in the wonderful service. Will enjoy this place again and again!

We live in the area and can't believe this is our first time to have dinner here. The food was amazing and presentation was beautiful. We started with the crab legs as well as a wonderful spin on a Caprese salad. For dinner we the duck and steak/frites. Everything was amazing!

Really nice restaurant with beautiful decor and seating. Service was excellent and food was fresh, tasty and delicious. Prices were very reasonable and good portions. Compliments to the menu maker, variety of choices and something for everyone. I would recommend for a date or friends gathering. We will be back again!

It was really nice. There on Saturday night and music was great. Was mostly at The Cocktail Cornor, where the bartenders were fantastic, especially Chantee. So pleasant, and I never had to ask for a drink refill.

Never will go back!! Local have been here multiple times. Fine dining very expensive but pushed out the door of an empty restaurant in 50 minutes. Overpriced and horrible service! This young man owns many restaurants in town now backed by everyone else’s money. I’m loyal, never write negative reviews but need to tell folks to go anyplace else!!!

Been here several times. It's expensive, loud and tries to be Fine Dining. Server pushed us even though dining room was empty from the minute we sat down. Couldn't enjoy our cocktails. Literally pushed out the door of a mostly empty dining room in 55 minutes

This place has been on our list to try since we have tried the sister restaurant Lakeview. The decor is really nice, our waitress was nice but the service level left a lot to be desired. From the ambiance, menu, food presentation and prices, they want this place to be elevated and they will need to up their service game if that's what they are going after. We really enjoyed our food, thought the flavors were unique and tasted great. Where this place fell flat was in the service, while our waitress was really nice, she was more interested in going back to visit with the other server than checking in on us or seeing what else we wanted. We were her ONLY table and while my husband liked his cocktail, when she asked him if he wanted another one once our food came out, he said yes please, she never brought it to him. We waited so long once we were done eating, I had all the plates stacked up to be taken away as we were tired of waiting, we did not want to wait longer for the dessert to come. Honestly, if she would have checked in on us, my husband would have probably had 3 rounds of drinks and we would have had dessert too. I may give it another try, but check it out and see if it was an off day.
