Delicious food, though a bit noisy. Server was excellent until we were told that there was no rush and the next reservation was arriving in 2 minutes, but no rush. This is very unprofessional and a customer should never be told this and made to feel like you need to get up and rush out of a nice dining experience.

Lunch experience was at the same level as dinner. Excellent food, good service and enjoyable experience. There was a line for the bar and reservations only for table. I didn’t like being rushed out at the end of the meal, but otherwise would highly recommend.

Lamb entree was good, but should have had more lamb in it, there were a few shreds of lamb in it. The daily special of sea scallops was great, very tasty! Bananas Foster was just OK, nothing like Eddie V’s same dessert. The service was outstanding!
