Thank goodness they have a dress code. It's nice to dress up to go out to eat and not have to sit next to somebody wearing a backwards ball cap. This is a high-end restaurant and they expect their clientele that choose to eat in the dining room to be dressed in more classy fashion, it's just more enjoyable when you and everyone else is attired nicely. The t-bone steak was cooked to perfection. I had ordered the cremini mushrooms as a side dish. They were delicious of course and the appetizer was barbecue shrimp. All very delicious, all served very professionally. This is the restaurant to go to when you're celebrating a very special occasion.

Absolutely phenomenal establishment, well worth its name and price. Professional and courteous staff provide a very mellow, relaxed atmosphere with beautiful decor. Not to mention the most important part, the food. Mouth watering seafood, gorgeous appetizers, and breathtaking steaks come together to make you want fourths. Highly recommend to anyone celebrating an occasion or simply wishing to experience a memorable night.

This is one of the best dinners we had in our 5 years in Huntsville. Taylor was the hostess and she was awesome. She sat us immediately and was very kind and professional. Trudy was our server and she was one of the best servers I have ever had. She made some outstanding recommendations. We got the calamari, gumbo, crab cakes, Caesar salad, wedge salad, steak, sea bass, loaded baked potato, garlic mashed potatoes and the turtle cheesecake. Most were recommended by our server. Everything was highly exceptional and incredibly delicious. The manager came over and checked on us. He was really nice and seemed truly genuine about making sure that we were enjoying ourselves. Tahj was the food runner and he was on it. He was so quick and happy to get us extra sauces. The atmosphere was so relaxing and romantic with appropriate background music. Outstanding and exceptionally phenomenal dinner. 10/10 for food taste, quality and service. I highly highly recommend. In my opinion, this is the best restaurant here in Huntsville.

We had dinner here on Christmas — the actual dining experience should be 5 stars — the food and service was exceptional. However, the price was just amazingly high. We knew going in that it was expensive, and it didn’t disappoint. I rate it four stars because we can get food and service just as good but at a more affordable price. My wife had the filet and I had the filet with shrimp. We had sides of steamed broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms, potatoes au gratin — all of which were perfectly prepared and tasted delicious. The one item that I was disappointed was the Caesar salad, it was just ok, not bad but again for the price it should had been exceptional. Don our server was excellent. All in all we had a very good dinner but I just can’t get past the price.

The food was fantastic. Everything was done properly and with rich flavor. We got ribeye and a shrimp dish. The service was... A little weird, though. Our food runner seemed more competent than the waitstaff. That's not a knock against them: you don't know if you haven't been trained. I was expecting the same top notch service as what I've had at casinos or a Gordon Ramsey restaurant, but it was more like a regular diner. I think what sealed it for me was the realization about five or ten minutes after ordered that I had meant to have our steak served with an Oscar sauce. I didn't see our waitress for a while and finally notified one of our food runners. When our food came out it was warm, not hot, except for the sauce. So I think they let our food cool while they whipped up a sauce. I didn't have the heart to tell the manager our food was warm instead of hot; it was a contrast to other guests' sizzling plates. But we had a nice time out.

You need reservations to eat here which you can make online or over the phone. Dress code is business casual. Absolutely amazing experience and food here. Best steak I’ve ever tried at a restaurant. The staff were over the top nice and timely. Food came out much faster than expected. We had the porterhouse for two (40 oz of meat) and were blown away with the taste and size of the steak. It was served to us on seasoned hot plates. We also had the ahi tuna and lobster tail appetizers, both absolutely delicious. All sides are a la carte and do not come with the steak meals. The lyonnaise potatoes were a great complement to the steak. Overall, the food is very pricey here but worth it in the taste, quality and quantity. You will leave stuffed!
