    We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. All four of us has something different, and each was delicious. We also shared 4 different apps, and 5 desserts. Service was spot on, not hovering but always available. There was a slight hiccup with the heat, things happen, and they did a great job of managing it. Looking forward to our return.

    Outstanding food and service. We had fantastic service from Dominic and he helped with several recommendations. The oysters were some of the best we’ve had, tuna tartare was delicious, sea bass buttery and cooked perfect, seared tuna also great. Dirty goose martinis were very smooth, and wine very flavorful. They provided free birthday dessert after dinner which was also great. One of the best meals we’ve had in a long time from start to finish. Only thing not 5 star was price, it is expensive.

    This was TRULY the best experience at a restaurant that our group has ever had. Our waiter, Daniel, was an absolute star. He was fantastic- attentive but not pushy, kind, excellent at his job, and just all around the best. The food was unbelievable. We had a variety of seafood, steak, and drinks and it was ALL incredible. Kudos to the chef on all fronts. You also can’t beat the views of the Ohio River! Gorgeous ambiance- sit on the deck if you can! All around 5 stars!!

    We celebrated our anniversary here and it was a great choice! The drinks were great, our steaks were flavorful and cooked perfectly, and the mac and cheese and the potatoes au gratin were delicious. The little fire they did around our white chocolate and bourbon bread pudding was so cool! We can not wait to come back.
