Salad was overpriced when compared to other restaurants. It was a small dinner salad and one you would normally get with a entree. They were out of two popular whiskey used for old fashions. Old fashions were higher priced in our opinion then other restaurants. This use to be one of favorite restaurants prior to the renovation.

Unfortunately, the steak lacked much flavor. My daughters ribeye was pancake thin. This just wasn't a $225 meal.

The service was poor. It was a Monday night and we were alone except for one other table. After sitting for an hour we did not have our steaks! I did email the owner hoping for a response but didn’t hear from him. We have going to Buddies for years . It was my husband’s birthday so it was very disappointing

We were there to celebrate our friends birthday. The waitress name was either Jade or Jada. She was "the best" She interacted with us and fit right in with our craziness. My husband said she could sell ice to an Eskimo. Lol. Three of the four of us got the recommended specials. Everything was delicious. It was a Monday night, so it wasn't crowded. The food is a little pricey, but for a special occasion. It is definitely a treat.

Excellent steaks. My ribeye was one of the best I've ever had -- tender, good seasonings, and not much fat. The only issue was that that the restaurant didn't have my Open Table reservation. I showed my phone to the receptionist to showed the email and text message I got from Open Table confirming the reservation. She said that they have a lot of problems getting the Open Table reservations. It wasn't a big problem for us as we just had to wait 5 or 10 minutes. But it seems like this is something that should be investigated and fixed.

We dined at a large table on an elevated platform in the bar/wine cellar area. It was delightful and quiet.

The food was terrible. The ribeye tasted like top sirloin, the redfish was overcooked and very over seasoned, I could not tell I was eating fish. The juice size glass of water was pathetic, I had to ask 3 times for water. At least the steak came with a salad and fries, the fish came with a few leaves of sauteed spinach and a few slices of mushroom. No bread and no nothing and no going back for me.

Jade was an excellent server!! The food was outstanding. The atmosphere inside was way better than the outside( in process of updating outside). The desserts were excellent, too! We had a great time for our anniversary. We would definitely go there again!!

Our server Kristen was great. She was friendly and attentive to our needs throughout our meal and after paying the bill and sitting around the table talking, she still checked on us to see if we needed anything. She didn't rush us out. Great job. Food was amazing. Filet Mignon and Ribeye were outstanding. They just melted in your mouth.
