First the good, the food was incredible. Everything we ordered was delicious. Our waitress was attentive, kind and helpful. Neutral: we had assumed it was a fancier place when it was actually quite casual. This is nothing for and against them. Just didn't meet the expectation we had. Negative: the hostess couldn't have been less interested in being there or being helpful. She appeared confused whenever we had to engage with her and spent almost the entire hour we were there scrolling her cell phone. Since we were seated right next to the hostess stand, her attitude and negative energy brought the whole experience down. The menu was incredible and we will give it one more shot to try other things, but we are hoping that hostess isn't there next time.

Went there for our anniversary and it was an awesome experience from the moment we walked in! Started off with some drinks - the blueberry lemon mojito is fantastic! Crostini for an app - again it was fantastic. But the best part was the filet with the deburgo sauce. Best steak I’ve ever had. We got a dessert as well & it was an awesome night! New date night spot!

We were looking forward to the last dinner of our vacation and we're totally disappointed in the food. The honey balsamicsalad consisted of very fresh spinach but it was drenched in an oil dressing with no flavor of honey and vinegar. Our chicken, Alfredo pizza had a crust which was impossible to cut, the chicken was flavorless and it was topped with a lot of chewy pancetta which had a woody consistency. The restaurant is beautiful, however!

Based on all the 5 star reviews, I thought I'd check this place out. We arrived on a Saturday around 5:30. We were greeted promptly by the front hostess and were seated. Our waitress was pleasant. I had to ask about the specials. We ordered the prime rib and lobster ravioli. The prime rib and sides were good, and the ravioli good too, just not what we'd consider "5 star". While the prime rib came with mashed potatoes and carrots, my ravioli was it, no sides. No table bread or salads.So while my husband was still eating dinner, I was done. I felt the waitress, seeing this, would have offered the bread. It would have been nice to at least have some to soak up the left over sauce from my ravioli while he finished. I see now in a different review they noted you have to ASK for bread. (there was no one seated near us to see if the bread option was true) For the prices I think it should be a given, or offered at least. Or on the menu somewhere have the "unless noted, all entrees served a la carte". Also my first martini drink was almost too warm, like the glass was just washed and not in the freezer long enough (the second was colder). For a first impression I was not impressed for the price paid. We definitely had no leftovers. The vibe was nice, background music at a good level. Maybe my expectations were skewered too high by all the 5 star reviews. I can spend less money, get more of just as good food at many other places around the metro. Unless someone gives me a gift card, most likely won't be back.

Nice place for Italian when you're at Jordan creek. Good food (I had the chicken parm and it was delicious). Not to bad on price and was seated right away.

Pork chop-carrots are sweet, but not overly sweet. The potatoes are cooked and whipped to perfection, medium well cooked pork chop. Can't go wrong with this dish. Definitely a must try!!

Ambiance: open and large restaurant. The table, bench, and silverware were greasy when we sat. We notified our server, and they cleaned the table and provided us new silverware. Calamari appetizer - large pieces of fried calamari and dipping sauce. I probably wouldn't order again as it was very chewy and large pieces. Burrata appetizer - good with crostinis. I was hoping crostini would be toasted and more than 4 pieces for the amount of cheese we got. We ended up ordering additional crostinis. Scallops meal - cooked perfectly. Crispy potatoes and parm polenta were all right sides. Maybe I'll try other sides. Overall service was good and attentive.

We had reservations tonight for our anniversary and we're early. They were able to seat us right away. Our server Shawn (unsure of spelling) was super friendly, funny, and prompt to make our night incredible. The food was absolutely delicious. I will definitely come back here again for dinner. Music selection was a bonus as well.

Came here for dinner for Valentine’s Day and it was EXCEPTIONAL. The food, drinks, and dessert was all awesome.It was my girlfriends and I’s first time here and I’m so happy we went for Valentine’s Day.All of the food was AWESOME. We got the stuffed mushrooms and split chicken Alfredo. For dessert, we got the red velvet cake and it was fantastic.Regarding the restaurant and itself. I would give it 10/10. Everything was spaced out perfectly as we did have a booth, but we felt far enough from our tables/groups.Andrew was our waiter and his service was perfect. He was very welcoming and accommodated all of our needs. We will be back!
