Salads were suspect. Lettuce had funny taste. 20% Service fee added to the bill before tip for waitress. Very high price for level of food servid. Steak $60. Not nearly as good as Del Frisco or Ruth's Crisp.

Had an absolutely great time. Food was delicious, service sweet and patient. Nice and quiet, if not a little dark. Would definitely return!

If you are looking for a place with great food, great service, and great atmosphere. This is the place to go. I was incredibly impressed with the staff. Very professional and attentive. The food was delicious and the presentation was amazing. The inside of the restaurant was beautiful. The lighting and flooring added to the atmosphere. The reason I gave the place a lower star value was because of two reasons. The first was how hard it was to find the place. The only reason I found it was because I asked someone at a wedding next door where to find it. There was no signage indicating where exactly it was. Secondly, when I got the check there was a 20% service charge. The waitress informed us at the end about it but there was no explanation on why we were paying an additional resort fee when we are not even staying there. I looked at the website to figure it out and could find nothing. The website itself is incredibly bare bones. I thought initially the service fee was for the tip. But below it there is a gratuity fee section. The staff were incredible and I don't feel they shouldn't get a tip. So we did pay that. But I wish a service fee was not thrust on us after we had gone. Otherwise, if you are okay with the fee and can find the place. The staff are great, food is incredible, and atmosphere is sublime.

The food is amazing!! We ate the apps and entrees too quickly before I could get a picture, but I did get a picture of the dessert and espresso martinis that were a perfect way to end the meal. They even gave my daughter a lobster stuffy to play with! The wait staff were so friendly and kind. Would definitely go back!
