Dustin

The food was fantastic, however the service did leave a bit to be desired. Food was rather slow to arrive and took a long time to clear empty plates. That said, the manager was attentive and was quick to address the issues. We sat in the bar area and were impressed by the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. The menu offered a large selection of apps and sides, and was reasonably priced for an upscale restaurant. The pot stickers and back wrapped bbq shrimp were both excellent. Steaks were well seasoned and cooked to perfection, though you could tell they sat for a bit before being brought to the table. The calamari was a bit undercooked and oysters had bits of shell in them, but overall the food was really good. I would certainly recommend, great menu options and good food at reasonable prices for this type of establishment.

Our waitress, Toyosi, was amazing. She was kind, prompt and provided us a fantastic experience. If you’re able to request a waitress I would highly recommend her. Also, the food came out absolutely perfect. Our party of 11 didn’t have a single complaint!

The service was spectacular from start to finish. This was our first time visiting the restaurant and it had lovely decor. The bisque was delightful as was the hot buttery bread. Mashed potatoes were divine. I had the Faroe Island salmon which was a bit dry and lacking in flavor. My friend had the steak and loved it. Overall a great outing.

Stephen my waiter and Jess made my meal. They went above ad beyond to give me exceptional service. The trio medallions were excellent. The shrimp cocktail and wedge were delicious. The food, service was an extremely enjoyable experience. Both Jess and Stephen took time to explain the menu.

The food ess very good. The service is very friendly and always good. The manager comes by and checks on you. The place has good drink menu. If you are in a hurry, advise your server to fire you food at the same time as appetizers. Couple of the seats need repairs. Always enjoy my food from this location.

What a delicious, wonderful anniversary dinner! And our server, Steven, made the evening that much more special. From friendly conversation to prompt, exacting service, our celebration was complete! The grilled romaine salad was a favorite, but not better than the Bananas Foster!

Lamest White Russian ever. Devour Indy visit. Had upsized filet with crab bisque soup plus chocolate cake. Steak 100% edible no gristle and tender worth it. Soup so smooth and creamy flavorful. Cake portion huge and puts the meal carbs in overdrive. Decor a tad opulent gaudy and dated but likely catering not to yuppiedom when z eta but to senior deep picketers. Service strong but ended slightly down after $ paid with higher than usually requested print gratuity no direct eye contact which is telltale snub of the subtle sort. 4 not 5 stars not 100%. What could have been…
