Chef’s meals are always delicious. The orange cake was delightful. Allen was, as always, the most professional and enjoyable server.

Consistently superb! Generous portions, excellent quality, fantastic service (ask for Allen, he's the best!) Delighted the fried chicken is going to be a regular on the menu.

Our server, Alan, was outstanding! He is professional, knowledgeable but also fun! We had fries as an appetizer. They were fresh and hot, some of the best I’ve ever had. We chose the pappardelle pasta for our entree, which was great. Specialty cocktails were really enjoyable. The star of the show was the Bananas Foster table side. Alan has perfected the art. The flavors of caramel, banana and ice cream were truly complemented with a special popcorn sprinkled on top. The restaurant staff are very personable, assuring that you’re enjoying your experience.

The service was outstanding. The food was pretty good, it would be worth another visit. The only reason it wasn’t five star was because of the seating. We were too close to the people next to us who were talking as loud as they could to the couple next to them. I couldn’t even hear my wife from across our small table. It wasn’t full so it would’ve been nice to spread out a little.

Everything we ordered was great with the exception of the NY steak. It was not hot, the taste was good and the sides that it came with were hot but the stake itself was just warm. We both got the steak and both of them were not hot. Also, we would like a little more space between the tables as we were in the middle where one side is a booth and the other side a chair. It was too close to the people next to us and hard to get out of the booth and not be right in their space.
