   We dined at Relic for our grandson’s birthday!! He thoroughly loved his filet! I loved the burratta appetizer and the lobster gnocchi. My husband had the pork chop and truffle fries. He was totally happy with his meal. Everything was perfect!!

   I was beyond disappointed. The steaks were not good at all. Tasted as if they were precooked and reheated. All of our food was lukewarm. Very long wait in between courses. It was quite the dining experience. Not The Relic we once knew. We will not be returning.

   I was very put off to how crammed it was…this was my first visit and I entered on the bar side. The staff treated me with respect, however, I was annoyed at how I had to slink around to find the hosting station. The food is excellent, but the service is a bit slow. The “ambiance” setting made it hard to read the menu. My friend paid and I told her that we’re only coming back if she’s buying. It was too crammed, too dark and the parking situation annoyed me. It is also very pricey here.

   Love the food and bread they bring out is top notch like soaked in olive oil goodness! My lobster gnocchi dish was great with nice pieces ot lobster - dirty martini should be in martini glass though and don’t charge me extras for olives, that’s rude to a drink that comes with olives! Service was great end love Frank Sinatra music they play. Possibly they need a little more lighting in there just a wee bit more. But nice ambiance yes!

   We decided upon Relic on State for our Fat Tuesday Celebration, and it did not disappoint. Dan the Bartender was enjoyable, from his personality to custom Sazeracs… we will be back for their extended Happy Hour. Our Server, Stephanie and Adam her Trainee were excellent. The Smash Burger Special and Fries were cooked to perfection. And, the ambiance was great.

   Super expensive, bad quality. My filet was tough. Truffle fries had no truffle. Bar service was terrible, waited 10 minutes to be served. Bar only had one random type of Tequila that smelled like rubbing alcohol. Didn’t have ingredients for another drink on their drink menu. Would not recommend. Go to Rocco’s or Capital Grille. You’ll have a better meal and pay less.

    Excellent service + delicious meal. Great ambiance in an old stone building.
