Service here is very friendly but not necessarily the most attentive. Had to ask for water refills and salt. My son enjoyed his shrimp and grits. I got the scallops and the scallops were cooked perfectly. However, the dish definitely could have had more flavor and it needed salt. My Old Fashioned was great. The ambiance could be excellent here but we were sat near what turned into a very loud birthday party that screeched every time a new lady arrived, which made it extremely hard to carry on a conversation. We passed on dessert after the last screech fest. I’m all about having fun but if you’re going to act like you’re in a sports bar, hold your event there, or match the atmosphere and be respectful of other patrons. Someone working at the restaurant really should have said something.

Excellent experience all around. We sat at the bar and had a couple of shareable plates. The mac&cheese was more of a creamy pasta with sausage and shrimp. It was great. The braised short rib was yummy, but the vegetables and broth that came with it could have been a stand-alone dish. They were the star. The wine was great. The bartenders were on point, and we sat beside a couple we knew. It was a wonderful evening. We couldn't have asked for a better night.

The food was fantastic. It was the best calamari appetizer we have ever had. The food came out surprisingly fast and was delicious. The fillet was thick and juicy and properly cooked. The lamb chops were grilled and had great flavor, and my scallops were also perfectly done with the noodles being exceptional as well.

Very pricey and the food isn't worth the price. Longhorn steaks are seasoned much better. The shrimp and grits were plated fancy but lacked the flavor. I will not dine there again. We wasted $145 on two meals. On the other hand, our waitress was great. Thumbs up to her

Early evening visit with friends for small plates and drinks. Couldn't have been better! Highlights included the Baked Brie and Dirty Blue martini. Friendly, prompt service, excellent food, comfortable atmosphere. What's not to like!? Recommended.

My wife and I love the food and ambience at this restaurant. We had dinner for our birthday and the food was outstanding. The food was served really quick as well as the drinks we ordered. Special thanks to the bartender who made us delicious cocktails and to the nice employees working there.

This is always one of my favorite places to eat. They go above and beyond for celebrations, and service is always excellent. The food is amazing and beautifully prepared.

Absolutely the best meal in years! The Halibut was tender and delicious, nested on a bed of polenta with asparagus spears, and crab on top. My spouse had the scallops which were also very good. And finished off with Key Lime pie. Oh my. All so tasty! Enjoy
