    Two tries at the Caesar salad and both bad. Really….it’s a Caesar. Just gross it was so old. To be fair the restaurant refunded the meals but the pass couldn’t check the meals - twice. Hmmm lack of leadership. Drinks also very weak.

    We had a wonderful experience. My wife had the filet and I had the bone-in chops, and probably the best I have ever had. Extremely moist and the Chardonnay Salt really elevated the taste. The noise level was very nice and the place was full. Andrew was our server and did an outstanding job. We will certainly return.

    The food was terrible. Nice place it has potential but the steak was way over cooked and priced.

    We enjoyed the restaurant very much. However, my husband’s French dip sandwich had lots of fat on it and the dipping sauce was not flavorful. My chicken pasta dish was great!

    Thank you, Charlotte. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your visit with us - but sorry to hear the French Dip was anything less than delicious. Hope you will be back to visit again soon!

    For my son‘s birthday I was originally trying to get into one of the traditional favorites (Sperry, Jimmy Kelly, etc) but everyone was full except places way out of our way since we were going to music at Fox & Locke afterwards. I had only had pizza over at Coal Town so I had thought it more of a casual place but we booked a reservation and have the steaks – I had the fillet he had the strip. We were both really impressed. Also the duck fat fries were amazing and thank you so much for the birthday dessert and for paying attention to that note I put on the reservation. Excellent service, excellent price for what we got and West Haven is nicely located relative to a lot of of the music places in the Franklin area.

    Thank you for the review, J.W. We are so happy that you chose us for your celebration! Thank you for the kink words and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
