We had a lovely evening. The food & service were excellent. However, the music was a little loud. As more diners arrived, they needed to raise their voices in order to have conversation. That was annoying but something easy to rectify.

The restaurant was extremely nice inside and clean. Their desserts on the main floor all looks delicious. We got to our table waiter was great. The brusselsprout app is a must. The St. Louis salad was a meal in itself. We split it. I ordered the pork chop. It was sous vide, but it was very salty and tough for a protein that was sous vide. My wife had the roasted chicken and enjoyed it. My daughter had the pork chop and said it was tough to cut even with the provided steak knife. I was let down by the main course. We are going to go back and give it a second try. Four of us was about 65 a person. Definitely, recommend the restaurant as a the while dinning experience was great. Just missed the mark on the bone in sous vide pork chop.

French onion soup was good. Caesar salad good but heavy on the dressing. Prices were a little high. Service was outstanding, very personable staff members.
