Did Christmas Eve Celebration with Family here. It was amazing. The Credit Card fee was not expected so be prepared for that.

Wow wow wow! We went here to celebrate a special announcement and the experience couldn’t have been any better! The drinks were amazing, great wine list, and the food was phenomenal (I’m still thinking about the potato croquettes). Drew, our server, made our time so special. We can’t wait to go back!

Stopped here on the way home to Dallas and so glad we did.
It was a Saturday, so only a brunch menu was available but it was more than good enough.
My steak was cooked to perfect rawness and chicken-fried steak was crispy and flavorful.
On top of delicious food, the restaurant itself was beautiful, full of old-world charm.
Thank you Erik for your wonderful service and we appreciated the complimentary birthday dessert.
It was a memorable meal we thoroughly enjoyed.
Highly recommended.

I'm a foodie. I'm happy to pay well for impressive meals. My filet mignon was acceptable (not impressive), but nothing else on my plate was okay... over-cooked veggies and over-salted potatoes. I also ordered the mousse cake and found myself wondering where the mousse was hiding.
The room was drafty so I wore my coat the entire meal.
The worst was the gravel parking lot and sidewalk! This is a FINE DINING restaurant where you will destroy your Jimmy Choo's getting from your car to their door!
The only bright spot was our fantastic server. Impressed.

We just came from there and I had to write this review because it might help others not to go places like this with honest opinions.
It is about 54 F outside and outside it wasn’t warmer, they sat up in an empty cold windows with gaps bigger that my 3 fingers with cold air blowing on us, I went first to the bathroom and there was a window until in the window with gaps you could look outside and inside the bathroom anybody can basically watch you getting undressed and if you want a uti that’s where you’ll go to in this cold because it’s windy in the bathrooms too. I thought ok let me at least wash my hands with warm water which was also a big fail because there was no warm water at all. I ordered a tea it was the most tiniest coffee cup you could get for a tea the waiter left without giving me sugar or spoon until my husband went to get one since the waiter never came back and my tea got could and I got a table spoon bigger then the whole cup. I ordered simple Benedict eggs and of course by the time the waiter came with them they’re were cold the bacon I wanted was definitely made a day prior it wasn’t fried fresh it was hard and cold as well.
My husband ordered steak with eggs and potatoes medium rare and he his steak came rare by the time he got it back I was done eating and the waiter asked me if I needed hot water I looked at my tiny cup and said yes pls as well as a tea bag since he didn’t even mention I figured he wanted me to reuse the old tea bag since the service and food been already so bad. The restaurant was tacky had half dead poinsettia on the tables with still the $6 price tags on them which made things so much worse. The window next to us had blinds that was moving with the cold wind blowing inside while I sat there freezing and waiting for the waiter to bring my second tea he seemed to have a hard time keeping up with his phone rather then his job. I can only say I’m very honest and I hate people that complain but I also hate fake reviews that state places are good and you go to and it’s a disappointing experience. If it was just one thing ok but from the entry with ugly plastic plants to inside being as cold as outside to cold water and bad food is absolutely and no go!!!
They really need to do better this isn’t it. The pictures also don’t do this place no justice they much nicer than the place really is again very tacky.
