The best steak I ever had. I can't stand my steak to be pink in the middle. I've never had a well done. Juicy flavorful steak and that's what I had tonight. Our service was impeccable, parking $10 valet, quiet atmosphere inside the restaurant, and top 10 Mac and cheese in the country! The Louis Vuitton cake was a bougie bonus for me!

This is a fantastic eatery with great food, long bourbon list, and great staff. We came in the middle of the week, so it was a little slower, but it was a fantastic experience. Appetizers and dishes are great with a number of fantastic options. The hotel and eatery have a great feel and personality. We spent some time out at the bar after which had great seating, drink options, and an attentive staff.

Absolutely fantastic meal and drinks! My only complaint was that we were seated at a table next to the open air window, and the loud motorcycles periodically made conversation a bit difficult. Otherwise, a great experience, wonderful service, and a delicious meal. Highly recommended!
