I didn’t just eat here—I went on a Notre Dame-style playoff run with cutlery. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was entering the tunnel at Notre Dame Stadium: the lights dim, the crowd roaring (internally), the scent of seared greatness wafting through the air like hope in October. The maître d’ didn’t greet me—he handed me a playbook. I wasn’t seated—I was lined up in I-formation. And brother, I was about to run the gauntlet.
The wine? A 2018 cabernet so smooth and confident, it could start at quarterback and run Marcus Freeman’s entire offense with one swirl. Rich, commanding, and probably able to recruit a 5-star linebacker just by breathing near him.
Then came the steak—and let me be clear: this wasn’t food, it was a statement win. It hit the table with the power of a Howard Cross III sack and the elegance of Sam Hartman dropping dimes in a snowstorm. Medium rare, seasoned like it studied film, and so tender it canceled my dentist appointment. This steak didn’t just melt in my mouth—it called audibles and walked into the end zone. Joe Alt would’ve protected it with his life.
The risotto? Creamier than a freshman walk-on’s dreams. Smooth, rich, and disciplined—Al Golden would put this risotto on third down. The oysters? Briny, bold, and faster than Xavier Watts breaking on a slant route. I swear one of them whispered “Go Irish” as I ate it.
Then came the carrots—and I need you to hear me when I say this: these carrots were Heisman-caliber. Roasted to divine sweetness, glazed like they were prepping for the NFL Combine. These were Drayk Bowen in vegetable form: intense, built different, possibly sentient.
By dessert, I was a puddle. The waiter brought me a warm towel and simply said, “Marcus Freeman believes in you.” And in that moment, I did too.

Very much left to be desired. Food, let’s break this down
French onion soup was so over salty it wasn’t eatable
Fresh Berry salad was actually the star of the dinner with great dressing
Chicken Melanese was well cooked but had almost zero flavor.
The service left much to be desired but that was just our server.

Went for happy hour. It wasn’t a happy hour at all. No happy hour food menu. Just a way to get you there. $7 Seltzer, canned drinks is not happy hour. People were not dressed business casual. It was jock and gym goers at the bar. Fried cauliflower and prime rib sliders were good. The margaritas was good. The outside atmosphere is nice.

Went with a group of more than 50. The food, service and atmosphere were all very good. I would go back again.

Loved my experience at the Niagara Falls location, but was highly disappointed this evening. Service and atmosphere, amazing. Main course, disgusting. Same dish we order at Niagara Falls location and love - Chicken Milanese, ordered here and beyond disappointed. Flavor not the same, mainly because the overwhelming odor of old oil. When placed on the table, it immediately resembled the smell of a bad fast food place. Service was superb, so we did not want to make the server feel offended, so we tasted a piece each, and asked for boxes (being polite). Paid bill, and mistakingly placed bag in vehicle (should have discarded, but no place appropriate for large bag) and went to casino. Leaving a few hours later, vehicle had a stench, enough to make me gag. Service, attentiveness, drinks - amazing. Food (aside from bread and oils) - never again.

Beautiful views. Drinks from the bar took 30 minutes. The food was average, it looked like it was under the warmer to long, but was not hot. The cigarette smoke from the casino below wafted upward making the atmosphere less than pleasing. Everyone was friendly, except the female manager who made excuses about our drinks instead of just apologizing and offering even a free dessert.
Will not return.

Food horrible! No crab legs! The cauliflower steak was thumbs down! Soup was too salty!!
Service horrible! My server has some sort of shake disorder & all of my soup was out of the bowl when she gave it to me. No offense to her condition but no thank you.

For what we paid the food was Applebees quality at best. Faroe island salmon was overcooked and dry and I couldn’t get past the succotash plopped on the bottom of the plate and looked unappetizing and the frizzled sweet potatoes on top just made everything look bland. The Filet my wife had was cooked well but it had little flavor and was visibly unseasoned. Friends we were with didn’t seem impressed either. ??♂️

I wish I could rate this higher but to be honest as a non smoker I couldn't get past the cigarette smell in the restaurant which I honestly believe may have impacted the taste of the food to me. Our server was amazing and she was very attentive. I had the scallops and risotto which was okay, for me the risotto was a bit undercooked. I also had the oysters which were amazing.

The restaurant was very nice and the staff was very attentive. The food was ok but all 7 of us each had one complaint. The food was cold. The risotto was not creamy as it should be because the cheese was already hardening because it was cold. Also way to much garlic.alittle disappointed because everything is ala carte. Was expecting way more as in quality of food for the price.
