    Food was exquisite. Cooked to perfection. We had the calamari and she crab soup, then the Steak Oscar and my man had the sirloin with a crabcake. The drinks were strong enough and tasted delicious. Try the P.Y.T. and the chocolate cherry kiss, they won't disappoint. He also had the barrel aged old fashioned and said it was the best old fashioned he had ever had. Dessert was the white chocolate bread pudding and the key lime pie; they were fantastic, as well. We were not rushed, we had everything we needed quickly and all the staff were welcoming and friendly. Pricey? Yes but well worth it. This was my 2nd time there, his 1st. We will definitely return!

    The food was delicious. We had gotten a New York strip and salmon. Our server had started off with saying “I don’t have much to tell you because it’s Valentine’s Day, so no specials. Here’s some water…” We didn’t expect specials because it was valentines, but instead he could have asked us if it was our first time there since it’s such a nice place and it was a special day, for example. Our food ticket got misplaced and we waited over a hour for it, but the manager brought it to us and sincerely apologized. Overall we love the ambience of this place and the quality food there, which would bring us back again.

    Josh the manager went above and beyond to give us a fabulous experience. He is a jack of all trades working alongside his talented staff. With smiles and ready to make it a special evening celebration we thank him, Josiah, our waiter and everyone at TC. Since 1977, same owner, it's a family favorite.

    Very good overall experience. It's expensive, but mostly worth it. The ambiance feels fancy and nice without being pretentious.

    Beautiful restaurant and bar. Prime rib and meatloaf were yummy. But the green beans in our dishes tasted like they were out of a can. And they over peppered the jambalaya and made it mostly inedible.
