    One of the best meals I’ve ever had! I’m from out of town and was SO sad there isn’t one closer. All of the food was prepared EXACTLY how it should be and every detail, including the temperature of just the PLATE was considered. Amazing.

    When we got sat we found out we didn’t have the right count to include two kids… when we asked the host staff to see if we could move to another table, they were more than gracious and understanding and coordinated the move. They were patient and set us up at another table. We were able to enjoy our meal and the kids were able to spread out. Many thanks to the host staff. We have been having a family Christmas Eve dinner for many years and this staff has always been attentive and helpful.

    Minimal wait time, private table and outstanding customer care experience provided by our server. We appreciate his sensitivity to our needs as well as the exceptional observation and anticipation of individual experiences throughout our meal. His positive attitude and enthusiasm made our meal even more enjoyable. Everything was quite pleasant and we look forward to joining you next year on Christmas Eve for the same experience together!

    Fantastic food and service. Had the Chophouse Butcher Board and it was outstanding to share. We were near the bar and it was very loud - the only negative and the bartender needed backup! Our drinks were excellent as well, however!!

    Shrimp Scampi was excellent. We received more than great service from Tammy. Scollops, though good, were a disappointment next to the shrimp. The Brussel Sprouts, new to the menu, and vanilla cream cheesecake were both incredible. Overall a very good dining experiance.
