    Went out to celebrate my husband's birthday. Dinner included the coconut shrimp appetizer, a holiday cocktail, steaks, potatoes, vegetables. Followed by dessert to go, because we were so full. Brandon L was our server and he was very attentive and accommodating. My husband's steak was tough, we told Brandon and he took it away and replaced it with a fresh, more tender steak. When we ordered the dessert to go, I explained that it's my husband's birthday but we're too full, so we'll take it home. Not only did he get a complimentary slice of key lime pie, but they discounted his entree for the trouble. The ambiance is lovely, however it did start getting louder by the time we were leaving. We will definitely be back for another special occasion!

    The Tobacco Company is our "go to" dining experience. The food is delicious, our server was wonderful (she was able to get the music shut down in our "office area which was very loud), and the whole experience was enjoyable.

    We have been enjoying the Tobacco Company restaurant for over thirty years. It's always been one of our favorite places to have special dinners. We had guests in from out of town for an early Christmas visit and we treated them to The Tobacco Company. The food and service were excellent.

    The food was great, but the service was poor. Server did not bring bread to the table with salad. In fact we were halfway finished our entrees when bread finally arrived. Server did not bring steak knives until we were halfway finished eating our steak with a regular dinner knife. Thank goodness it was a tender filet, but it was still much easier to cut with the steak knife. We also weren't offered fresh cracked pepper on our salad.
