    Good was good! Drinks were stout, and the atmosphere was top notch. Servers didn’t necessarily check on us often, but, often enough. One bummer was one of us had to have our back to the piano, which was disappointing.

    I eat at this restaurant about once a month. Is there any way to expand the menu ? The hangar steak were good. The rib eye is way too much to spend given steak prices at the steakhouses in the area.

    Edward was fantastic. A great host and waiter for my family and me. When he realized it was my daughter’s birthday, he went straight to the piano to play songs for her. It was a great memory for my family.
