We enjoyed this place before a show. The lamb chops were good, but not cooked long enough for what we ordered. Atmosphere is good, but they kind’ve forget about you since they make the bartender also wait tables. Old fashioned was good.

Great service, I had the steak burger and black truffle fries. Both were delicious.

I would truly not waste your time with this restaurant. I came here to celebrate my 25th birthday and I was SO excited.

However, this restaurant was incredibly disappointing and mainly for the way my fiancée and I were treated. We let them know we'd be ordering appetizers, drinks and desserts. After that, we barely saw the waiter again even just for water refills.

I think the most devastating part is that I stressed in the reservations the importance of this birthday. I had brain surgery and almost died, then had 4 masses removed from my abdomen, BUT I still walked into that restaurant alive and able to celebrate thank god!

Do I expect special treatment or anything because or that? Absolutely not. However having to ask multiple people for water is also, definitely not what I was expecting. It was so terrible that night, that I didn't even go get breakfast there the next morning and I had ALREADY paid for it with the room

I'd genuinely rather loose $60 than to waste my time being treated like that.

Edit: The lighting is also awful there. Don't go if you are a content creator your videos will look wacky.

My family and I came here to try something new. I ordered the ribeye, they were out. I ordered the bouillabaisse, they were out. The salads came out with our entire meal, not beforehand. Everything was very salty. Glad we tried it but we probably wouldn’t return.

I would be ashamed to call whatever they serve Italian food…hell, I would be ashamed to call it “food”.
Feel it for the bartender embarrassment who had to charge me $36 for a bowl of cheap heavy cream drenched pasta the cook slang out of the microwave, and still kept a smile on her face.
Stay out of this place.

Slow service. Food took a long time to come and was not at all worth the wait. $93 lesson for us.

Beautiful restaurant with easy going vibe and delicious food. Highly recommend the chicken Marsala, shrimp scampi and cannoli dessert! Risotto appetizer delicious but small.
