    Wonderful food and delightful service. The shrimp cocktail is well overpriced for 4 shrimp...the seafood pasta was a bargain, as was the flatiron steak...and both were delicious...

    Jessica was our server, and she was amazing! Very knowledgeable about food, wine, and cocktails. She gave great recommendations. The lobster bisque was so good that I had to force myself to eat it slowly.

    If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Everything from the top notch genuine service to the atmosphere, nostalgia in the photos/decor and quality of food was first class. This was an evening and meal that was an experienceI will remember with great warmth.

    The salad soups and appetizers were all very good. The one thing that my steak was missing was temperature. I like my steak to come out hot. This was not the case tonight. My steak came out lukewarm and undercooked. This restaurants reputation is far too good to miss in this area.

    We appreciate your feedback Tim. Food quality and execution are two of our top priorities and that includes making sure food is served hot. We will make sure your feedback is shared with our executive chef and his culinary team. But I would still like to hear me about your experience, please reach out to me, General Manager Richard Edwards so we can discuss further. Thank you again Tim Richard

    We came to eat after a game at Lucas Oil. It was very busy after the game. Doug was an amazing server and everything was great.
