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

This place is a secret gem .Drink list is amazing. Food even better. And and live music outside with a beautiful backdrop.

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.

I had a wonderful experience this evening. It is New Year's eve, and I knew they would be reserved all night. Regardless, I called ahead and asked if they could take a 1 top walk-in. They were able to grab a table for me.Due to them being reserved all night, I got a table at the Cocktail Corner. I originally ordered at the bar (as was communicated to me due to the full reservations). Though regardless, Jenna (a bartender), still gave me table service throughout my experience.The oysters were divine, and Jenna even ran next door to their sister restaurant to grab me some crackers for my oysters. The asparagus mushroom ravioli was so unique and delicious (I highly recommend). Lastly, I finished with the Citrus Olive Oil Strawberry Shortcake and was not disappointed.I would highly recommend this establishment, and I will definitely be back.

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!

Great place to chill and enjoy good beer. Live music doubles the whole experience. Must try their garlic margherita pizza

How does this place not have a Michelin star or James Beard Award. The food screams flavor and perfect execution. I was fighting the urge to lick my plate throughout my dining experience. This is the essential food memory you would want to have during your dwindling moments on Death Row. It's like your happy place before you leave this Earth. My party had the Romesco Salmon, Seared Scallops, Elk Chops, and Filet Mignon....accompanied with a bottle of Sequentis. And Maria, our gracious server, was an Argentine delight, such great hospitality. I'm kind of regretting writing a review because I do not want to give up the secret to his hidden treasure. It's the type of place you want to keep in your back pocket when you want to impress visiting friends, family, or a significant other. Bon Ape tít!

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!!!
