    Extraordinary experience from beginning to end. The maitre d’ recognized our request for a bourbon tasting with dinner and made sure to seat us at a table in Ross’s section. Ross was a delight. Funny, efficient, and knowledgeable with the menu and especially the bourbon. After asking us questions on type, style, price, he created a tasting that was perfect beginning to end. I am going to dream about my halibut main course and my husband raved about the Caesar salad. We will definitely be back when we come to town.

    I’m so glad I chose this restaurant for my mom‘s 80th birthday! The food was amazing! The service was amazing! The online pictures of the restaurant itself on the inside, did not do it justice. Loved the ambience. Dress was from very casual to semi formal, as we went at Christmas time and there were a lot of corporate Christmas parties. It was a beautiful setting with a lovely Christmas tree that everyone wanted to take pictures in front of. I highly recommend!

    Wonderful experience. Great service,, amazing food, cool ambiance. We had a family of 5, who all had steak and drinks, so it was costly for us; but with it. The filet and strips were done to perfection and were delicious. The beef tallow candle on the bread - first time for us seeing this and eating it- so good!

    We went for our work Christmas dinner and loved the food as always. Our server was very nice and patient with us as we had two ppl that hadn’t been there and answered all their questions and got everything they needed. So happy to see George serving!! I see him every time and he’s always so nice and says hi to me. He’s always in a positive and upbeat mood. Can’t wait to come back again for dinner
