Peyton is the best server we have ever had!!! Very polite and knowledgeable. David and Theresa did an incredible job behind the bar. The Wagyu meatballs were awesome! It's not an inexpensive restaurant but worth the money.

One of my favorite restaurants! Fabulous food, beautiful ambience, and delicious cocktails, their martinis are even served in an ice glass- genius! I just tried the barramundi and it was phenomenal, I'm definitely ordering that again! Their Sleigh Bells pop-up in the bar area features a special drink menu and is a-must-stop during the holiday season! They also have a great happy hour from 3-6p on Mondays and Fridays throughout the whole restaurant, not just the bar area! I also love that they are family oriented and give children a dough ball to play with and then they bake it and serve it with cinnamon sugar for their dessert. Wonderful place and owners!

We visited this restaurant for the first time. We had just gotten home from our Anniversary trip and was looking for a restaurant for dinner that wasnt too far away. I quickly made reservations earlier that day and received confirmation and a reminder text. We walked up to the greeter and told him we had a reservation. The greeter could not find our name on his list, so I showed him my confirmation and he said it was fine he would just seat us. At that moment I was slightly disappointed because in the reservation I added that it was our Anniversary, and perhaps the table could have already been setup, just something nice for the hubby. Well once we were seated and greeted by our waitress, I told her it was our Anniversary and she then placed a rose and a happy anniversary card on our table. As we started looking over the menu we were slightly disappointed only because we had been talking about what we had a taste for and it wasnt on the menu. I hadn't done any research so that's my fault. HOWEVER, we both decided to order the beef tips, WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED AT ALL! The food was very good and seasoned! Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We were planning to order the carrot cake to go but our waitress insisted on bringing it out and then boxing it up. We'll she wanted to add a little presentation with it! It was very nice of her and we appreciated her taking the time to write out happy anniversary on the dessert plate. Overall, I personally didnt feel like the ambiance was a Anniversary dinner setting, I felt over dressed. But I will come back again dressed down and enjoy the great service and food.

My first time going there and it was so nice! I actually felt out of place because I'm not a fancy person! But I ordered the tomahawk pork chop with bourbon appl glaze and OMG it was so delicious! The only thing I didn't enjoy was the Brussel sprouts they were bland and burnt for my liking! That's the only complaint I had! VERY fancy restaurant very clean and very nice. My fiancee took me for a date night and we will definitely be returning again! This was one of the specialty drinks for the holidays they had. I unfortunately didn't get more pictures of the food but very very good

This is my second time here, the first time the wife and I both got the filet and dinner was great! Along with the service. This time my wife got the blackened steak bites and I tried the margarita thin crust pizza. We got the spinach and artichoke dip as an app. The app and steak bites were great, the steak bites were perfectly cooked , my pizza was good but could be better. The flavor was great but the undercarriage needed to be crispier. I think the problem is they put the pizza on a metal mesh slide in the stone oven so the bottom doesn't crisp up enough vs if it was actually on the stone bottom of the oven. I feel like that's important for thin crust margarita style pizzas. Our server was fantastic as always and we really liked the atmosphere here. I would recommend it for sure

My husband and I were enjoying date night and we had never been to this restaurant but only heard really good things. No doubt we will be back. Everything was exceptional. The boom boom shrimp the best I've ever had and I had lobster pasta dish And it was amazing a huge lobster tail cooked to perfection! Sage, our waitress She really made the whole evening special. Everything she suggested was on point. I can't wait to go back and try the shrimp and grits. The management was very attentive and the staff was exceptional at their jobs. Thank you again we can't wait to come for some of the cooking classes!
