    This was such a wonderful experience ! The food was delicious (we loved the lamb chops and the Picanha were to die for ) and HOT! The servers and meat carvers were so pleasant and made the experience great! The side and salad bar were great-we just wished there was a bit more variety ! Overall it was an amazing experience !

    Tonight we celebrated two friend’s birthdays at Prohibition. It was our first time here and the experience did not disappoint. The atmosphere was rustic, inviting and very clean. There are two large sitting areas and plenty of room at the bar while you’re waiting on a table (if you don’t have reservations). The manager, bartender and our server (Katie)were all very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We had the cherry sour, old fashion and carolina wren. This is a tapas style restaurant. We shared the charred wings, shrimp fried rice, Brussel sprouts and the pierogies. All phenomenal. For dessert we had the lemon poundcake. We enjoyed our experience tonight and will definitely return!
