    We were celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary. The decor was festive with Christmas decorations, beautifully done as usual. Our reservation was for 7:00 but were told they were running 15-20 min behind. The bar area was full and it took awhile to get our beverages. We were under the impression that there was a dress code for the dining area, yet so many people were in jeans and very casual attire and allowed into the dining area. That was disappointing as we were expecting a higher end atmosphere. The food was exceptional, as usual. Our server, Eric, was very attentive and apologetic that our main course took so long due to over-cooking of the filet. Eric suspected something was wrong and immediately addressed it with the the kitchen staff. It was worth the wait. Our appetizers were great and helped to lessen the tardiness of getting the entrees. This is our favorite place and we truly enjoyed our evening.

    This was our first time and we will be back. The decor is amazing. It felt like a British club. The waiter was knowledgeable and attentive, but not intrusive. The food was excellent; calamari, steaks, loaded potato.
