   My son wanted to go there for his bday! The salad bar was ok! Nothing to write home about. The food meats were good and since it wasn’t busy they came regularly. The one thing I can’t get out of my mind it what I saw behind the glass in the kitchen. We all joke about servers not caring if food gets dropped on the floor and then served to you. I just never saw it with my own eyes. A server was cutting a piece of meat for a to go order. The meat he cut fell on the floor. He was in shock for a couple seconds then he picked it up and wiped it down. (Yuck) he put it on the cutting board where the rest of the meat was cut. I thought he then proceeded to put it in the to go container for a take out order. I tried to just bite my tongue but by then my appetite was gone. I could not get it out of my mind. Towards the end when my family had ordered dessert I let the manager know. He was apologetic and walked away. 10 min later he came back and said he reviewed the cameras and they did in fact pick up the meat and tried to dust it off and put in on the cutting board. He did say it never made it to the to go container: (I have no way to verify that) and the fact that they picked it up and dusted it off and put it with the rest of the meats on the cutting board is bad enough. I was so disappointed and simply just grossed out by the whole experience. It left a gross feeling and I stopped eating. We all did. I hope they do better.

   Wonderful experience . Hostess seated us in a perfect location with a baby. Food was excellent, a little high priced but very delicious.

   Great service. They were very patient, given that we were there 3+ hours and their last table. Reasonable corkage fee. Would be nice if they had proper red wine glasses. Happy I made the choice for my friend's birthday (dessert not included).

   Never been to an experience quite like this restaurant. It was excellent. Food was amazing and extremely delicious and plentiful. That salad bar with charcuterie items was my personal favorite! A little disappointed that beer selection was by flight only though. I prefer my beers to come in 20oz servings, not the 1 oz flight. It would make for a great date night out, is on the pricey side as a group(family).

   All the meats were way to salty. Most of the meats were over cooked.

   Waitress was very good and communicative the only thing is that the servicing time for bringing out the meat can be better and more variety of meat. Overall out experience was good for the 1st time at your restaurant.

    Came in at opening, even when we were leaving the restaurant was busy but not really loud at all. The restaurant was clean, service was quick and wonderful, food was cooked very well!
