Started off with me going back to the kitchen to get help as there was no one to welcome us. We were alone inside the restaurant dining area. Once seated we ordered the Wild Mushroom Fricassee

The food was full of lovely little surprises. The potatoes crisp in the salad lurking underneath the surface like Loch Ness. The creamy nodules in the lobster bisque lurking underneath the surface like jaws. The lobster bisque was thin more like lobster water than lobster bisque. The steak was delicious but a bit over cooked. I’d recommend getting it rare if you want it medium rare. The side of broccoli was to die for. The dessert was crème brûlée, it would’ve been five stars but they put way too much sugar on top and breaking through that was like drilling through the astroid in Armageddon. It was hard like rock. Our server was perfect. The host however was very snarky in a charming way. if this review confuses you… you’re right. On the whole, we had a great time, despite the room for growth. I cannot excuse however the toilet paper which was single ply

Steaks were good but for the price, the details were lacking. Cocktails served with bendy straws, starch dishes covered in cheese, bland vegetable dishes. They just went through a change splitting the bar from the restaurant so maybe they were still figuring things out.

A perfect brunch. Not a single complaint. Even the alternative 80’s music playlist is our favorite genre

Stopped by for a drink on the Thanksgiving night! What a gem! Cozy vibe with jazz playing in the background. At the same time it’s hip and trendy.

Great place to get a burger from. It was made well and presented nice. However, their hand cut fries are very thin, so thin they taste like plain potato chips with salt added. Service and atmosphere is great. I knock of 1 star for 2 reasons. A: The fries as mentioned B: they charge a fee if you use a credit card vs paying in cash. We got a bill for total cost, I submitted my card and got a same bill again with a fee tacked on. I enquired and was told it because i was using a credit card.

Very friendly staff. The food is amazing. They are very accommodating. We got there early and the staff was able to make an early accommodating for us while we were waiting for the rest of the party to arrive. Definitely he order their pancakes. It’s very decadent. There omelette was very good and came with wheat toast and you can add a side order of the marinated salmon. Overall, this is a very comfortable place for a family gathering

The NY strip steak here is soo good, I’m still thinking about it days later. Super soft and delicious at a medium temp. Our server Mike was also a sweetheart and made the best aperol spritz I’ve ever had despite being to Italy. Deff recommend

Came for a friends 60th birthday overall the service was good and the food was good. Steak was nice and juicy and wasn’t super expensive. The biggest disappointment was the cookie dough egg roll. The shell was def too hot for the cookie dough to be piped in and made it melt. The cookie dough wasn’t very good either.
